Balsamic and Honey Roasted Beets |
Roasted beets are delicious just tossed with salt, pepper and a drizzle of olive oil but the addition of another couple of simple ingredients like honey and balsamic vinegar adds a beautiful, glistening and very tasty glaze to the roasted beets. Everyone is always looking for great side dishes for Fall meals and this one is not to be missed.
These warm roasted beets also make a phenomenal addition to any salad but adding them to a spinach and goat cheese salad is a particular favorite of mine.
