Ingredients

8 medium beets
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
2 tablespoons grated orange peel, blanched
6 fresh sage leaves, chopped
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Put the beets on a pan and roast them for about an hour or until they are tender when pierced with a fork or skewer. Cool them slightly and slip off their skins. Cut the beets into one-inch cubes.
Melt the butter with the sugar. Add the orange juice and cook until you have a light glaze (about five minutes). Add the orange peel and the sage leaves. Put the beets into a serving dish and toss them with the glaze. Season them to taste with salt and pepper and serve.
