MAPLE-GLAZED BEETS



Maple-Glazed Beets image

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.

3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup chopped scallion

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees. In ovenproof skillet, toss beets with olive oil. Bake 30 minutes, then cover with aluminum foil and bake 1 hour more.

MAPLE GLAZED BEETS



Maple Glazed Beets image

I'm the only one in my family that adores beets, so when I do make them it's got to be very special, like these luscious beety babes!

Provided by Mirj2338

Categories     Vegetable

Time 1h10m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 1/2 lbs beets, peeled and quartered (about 4 cups)
3 tablespoons margarine, divided
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 lemon, zested and juiced

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. So next time you are looking for a healthy and flavorful side dish, give roasted maple glazed beets a try. You won't be disappointed!
