    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.

    FAQs

    How long to bake beets in the oven?

    Depending on the size of your beet chunks and your oven, it can take somewhere between 35–45 mins to cook your beets through. Check if they are cooked through by poking into the beets with a sharp, small knife.

    What other flavors can I add to make my balsamic beets more flavorful?

    You can add a teaspoon of thyme and/or rosemary. You can also add a dash of garlic powder and onion powder.

    How to garnish my balsamic beets?

    Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley or chives over your roasted beets.

      These look SO good. I know it's a quick fix but when you're not feeling 100%, you need recipes like this. 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.
