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:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. 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.
3. Roast for 35-40 minutes or until beets are tender. Remove from oven and cool.
4. When cool, the skins of the beets should come off easily.
5. Slice the beets and place in a bowl. Add thyme, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Drizzle with honey. Stir to combine.
6. Place beets on baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast for another 10-15 minutes to carmelize.
