Tender roasted beets are coated with an orange and maple glaze that makes for a fantastic and super easy side dish, great all year round!
Much like the bad rap peas and brussels sprouts get, I’m convinced people don’t like beets because they’ve simply never had them prepared properly.
Roasted Beets are amazing! Tender, rich and sweet. Then baked with an orange and maple glaze, this simple side dish is a sure winner and could possibly change your mind forever.
Since roasted beets are so easy to make and also store really well in the refrigerator up to a week, making this side dish is a breeze. You can either roast your beets right before making it, or grab some out of the fridge that have already been roasted. This dish comes together in minutes, with a short bake time.
Recipe Variations
The sauce for the roasted beets calls for orange juice, balsamic vinegar, maple syrup, mustard, and herbs. But if that doesn’t float your boat, there are a few other options.
- Swap out the maple for honey
- Try using cider vinegar instead of balsamic
- Instead of mint, garnish with parsley or basil
I’m convinced you’ll love this recipe as is, though. It’s so good! (Scroll to the bottom for the full printable recipe.)
