- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Wash and scrub the beets thoroughly to remove any dirt. Trim off the tops and roots, then peel the beets if desired.
Step 3
Cut the beets into bite-sized wedges or cubes for even roasting.
Step 4
Place the beet pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Step 5
Drizzle the olive oil over the beets and toss them to ensure they are evenly coated. Sprinkle with salt and about half of the black pepper.
Step 6
Roast the beets in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, stirring once halfway through cooking, until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
Step 7
Remove the beets from the oven and transfer them to a mixing bowl while they are still warm.
Step 8
Drizzle the honey over the roasted beets and sprinkle with the remaining black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Step 9
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
Step 10
Serve warm as a side dish, or allow to cool and enjoy as part of a salad or snack.
