Golden beets have become a staple in my garden. Besides roasting them, the top/greens are also delicious. They are so sweet and roasting them with honey and lemon juice adds a new twist. Leftovers can be used in salad or on their own.
Roasted Golden Beets with Honey
INGREDIENTS:
- 3 cups roasted golden beets
- avocado or canola oil for roasting
- 1/2 tsp fresh thyme
- 2 tsp fresh lemon juice
- drizzle with honey
- salt and pepper
DIRECTIONS:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Clean the beets and remove the tops and stems. Place the raw, cleaned beats in a large square of aluminum foil. Sprinkle with salt. Close the foil to seal the beets.
- Roast for 35-40 minutes or until beets are tender. Remove from oven and cool.
- When cool, the skins of the beets should come off easily.
- Slice the beets and place in a bowl. Add thyme, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Drizzle with honey. Stir to combine.
- Place beets on baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast for another 10-15 minutes to carmelize.
