Roasted Golden Beets with Orange and Thyme
Sweetened with honey and orange, these golden beets are healthy so easy to make! Try the leftovers in a salad with arugula and crumbled blue cheese (or your favorite vegan cheese to keep it vegan).
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds beets
- 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1/4 fresh orange juice
- 2 teaspoons finely grated orange zest
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 F. Scrub, peel, and cut the beets into 1-inch pieces.
- Place cubed beets on large piece of foil on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil. Mix it all up with your hands (clean hands) and season with sea salt and ground pepper.
- Fold foil around the beets and crimp the ends to form a packet. Roast until tender when pierced with a knife, about 45 minutes.
- Transfer beets to a large bowl and drizzle with red-wine vinegar, honey and orange juice. Top with finely grated orange zest and fresh thyme leaves. *I adjusted these ingredients to my taste.
