Serving

We love to serve our roasted beets with meats such as roasted chicken, pork medallions, steak and pan-fried fish.

Beets are versatile and the balsamic flavors complement the earthen touch of those root veggies.

Other side dishes such as cooked rice, wheat berries, and other roasted veggies such as brussels sprouts, potatoes, and carrots, go really well with beets.

You can also add the cooled roasted balsamic beets to your salad.

I love the combination of beets, radish, ruccola, goat cheese with a sweet honey mustard dressing.

Storing

Keep roasted beet leftovers in an airtight container in your fridge for up to 5 days.

Warm them up in a pan, in your oven in a heat resistant dish, or in your microwave in a microwave dish.

Heating them in the oven will turn the balsamic beets extra crispy.

    These look SO good. I know it’s a cheat but when you’re not feeling 100%, you cheat. I took a tin of baby beets and drained them, brushed over some melted butter and used your balsamic vinegar recipe and popped them into the oven for 30 minutes. They were fantastic and I didn’t have red fingers.
