Ingredients

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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Thoroughly wash and scrub the beets to remove any dirt. Trim the tops and roots, but leave the skins on.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Roast the beets in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 5

While the beets roast, peel and finely grate the fresh ginger, and set it aside.

Step 6

Once the beets are done roasting, allow them to cool for 10 minutes or until they are cool enough to handle.

Step 7

Using a paper towel, gently rub the skins off the beets. They should come off easily.

Step 8

Slice the peeled beets into wedges or rounds and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 9

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, grated ginger, salt, and black pepper.

Step 10

Pour the dressing over the sliced beets and toss until they are evenly coated.

Step 11

Transfer the dressed beets to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.
