Honey-Butter Roasted Beets image

Beets and honey are just two of nature's purest candies. Combine and roast them, and you have a delicious treat. These beets are sliced and drizzled with a mixture of melted butter, honey, vanilla and just a touch of salt. This smelled so heavenly while roasting that we could hardly wait to dig in.

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 lbs beets, peeled and sliced
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons honey, mild
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Slice green tops from beets (and reserve for another use if desired). Carefully peel rough outside layer from beets. Slice beets to 1/4-inch thickness (note that some larger beets may require slicing into quarters). Then arrange in a single layer on a large baking sheet with raised sides.
  • In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt honey and butter together (microwave for 30-40 seconds until smooth). Whisk in the salt and vanilla.
  • Drizzle honey-butter mixture over beet slices and toss with hands or a rubber spatula until thoroughly coated. Then rearrange into a single layer.
  • Roast for 20 minutes, remove from oven, toss with a rubber spatula, redistribute in the pan and return to toast another 10-15 minutes.
  • Remove from oven, allow to cool for 5 minutes and serve.
