My grandmother used this recipe to get us little vegetable haters to eat our beets! Her special dish made beets taste nearly as good as candy. With the tart-sweet scent of Glazed Beets in the air, it never took us long to jump down from the climbing tree out back when we were called to dinner.

MAPLE-GLAZED BEETS
I love beets, so I always try new recipes for them when I find one. Instead of just maple syrup, this version adds a little tang from balsamic vinegar that I like because it cuts the sweetness just a little. If you don't like vinegar, however, you can just leave it out.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Place the beets in a roasting pan.
- Dot with 1 tablespoon of margarine, and roast the beets, covered, for about 30 minutes.
- Melt the other 2 tablespoons of margarine in the microwave.
- Stir in the maple syrup and 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice.
- Pour this mixture over the beets.
- Bake, covered, for another 30 minutes, or until the beets are tender and the sauce is thick.
- Sprinkle with the lemon zest and serve.
Tips:
- Choose the right beets: Look for beets that are small to medium in size and have smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid beets that are too large, as they may be woody and less flavorful.
- Roast the beets properly: To ensure evenly roasted beets, toss them in olive oil and season them with salt and pepper before roasting. Roast the beets at a high temperature (425°F) for about 45 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Make the maple glaze: While the beets are roasting, make the maple glaze by combining maple syrup, Dijon mustard, balsamic vinegar, and butter in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat and cook for about 5 minutes, or until it has thickened slightly.
- Glaze the beets: Once the beets are roasted, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Then, brush them with the maple glaze and return them to the oven for a few minutes, just until the glaze is set.
- Serve the beets: Roasted maple glazed beets can be served as a side dish or as a main course. They are also a great addition to salads, sandwiches, and wraps.
Conclusion:
Roasted maple glazed beets are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences.
