Ingredients

• 4 medium beets
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Wash the beets thoroughly to remove any dirt. Trim off the greens and root ends but do not peel the beets.

Step 3

Wrap each beet tightly in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet.

Step 4

Bake the beets for 40-50 minutes, or until they are tender and can be easily pierced with a fork. Larger beets may require additional time.

Step 5

While the beets are baking, prepare the honey ginger glaze. In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, honey, freshly grated ginger, salt, and black pepper.

Step 6

Once the beets have finished cooking, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool slightly, until they are cool enough to handle.

Step 7

Carefully peel the skins off the beets. The skins should slip off easily; use a paper towel to help if necessary.

Step 8

Slice the peeled beets into wedges or rounds, as desired.

Step 9

In a large mixing bowl, toss the beet slices with the honey ginger glaze until evenly coated.

Step 10

Return the glazed beets to a clean baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for an additional 10 minutes at 400°F (200°C) to caramelize the glaze, stirring halfway through.

Step 11

Remove the beets from the oven and transfer them to a serving plate.

Step 12

Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm or at room temperature.
