Measuring Spoons

Ingredients

▢ 4 - 5 Medium Large Beets (about 4 cups chopped)
▢ 1 Tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
▢ 2 Tablespoons Balsamic Vinegar
▢ ½ Teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
▢ 1 - 2 Sprigs Fresh Rosemary (or 1 - 2 teaspoons dried)
▢ ¼ Teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
▢ ¼ Teaspoon Himalayan Salt

Instructions

First, preheat your oven to 350°F.
Then wash, peel and chop your beets into 1-inch cubes. You can also slice the beets for a more eye-catching presentation. Once your beets are chopped or sliced, place them in a roasting dish or bowl and set aside to prepare the balsamic glaze.
In a small bowl, stir together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, ground cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Keep stirring until the cinnamon and nutmeg are well mixed.
Next, drizzle the cinnamon balsamic glaze over the beets. Use a spoon to toss the beets in the glaze, making sure they are evenly coated.
Chop or pull off the leaves of a fresh sprig of rosemary and sprinkle over the beets. Give them another stir to mix the rosemary in evenly.
If using a roasting dish, cover with an oven-safe lid and place in your preheated oven. Stirring halfway through, bake for 50 - 60 minutes or until the beets are tender. If your beets are thinly sliced or on a baking sheet, reduce the baking time to 30 - 40 minutes or until the beets are tender enough to your liking.
Once the beets are tender, remove from the oven and serve as is, or garnish with a few extra sprigs of rosemary for display. These roasted beets are also delicious topped with lightly toasted pecans and walnuts with a sprinkle of cashew cheese or pasture-raised goat cheese. I like serving them on the side for everyone to top as they please.
