Ingredients
  

  • 4 Beetroot Cubed
  • ¼ cup Shallots Diced
  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 Tablespoon Raw Honey pure maple syrup may be substituted
  • 2 Tablespoons Lemon Juice
  • ¼ cup Orange Juice + reserved Zest
  • pinch Salt
  • 4 oz Goat Cheese

Instructions
 

  • Here are the step by step instructions for making fork tender honey roasted beets.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees
  • Wash and scrub your beets. Cut off the tops and tails and then peel the skin. You’ll need a good vegetable peeler to peel beets like this good grips swivel peeler! Chop your beets into bite-size cubes or slices.
  • In a cast iron skillet or an Instant Pot, saute the shallots in olive oil. Add the cubed beets and coat well with a little olive oil.
  • Cover the beets with honey, lemon and orange juice. The orange will give a beautiful citrus flavor.
  • Take the skillet from the stovetop to the oven & roast for 30 minutes until the beets are soft and fork-tender. The beets should cook evenly, however, if any of the beets are not yet soft continue roasting for a further five minutes.
  • Remove the skillet from the oven and let cool slightly before topping with crumbled goat cheese, fresh thyme or dill and reserved zest. Serve warm with a drizzle of sour cream.

Notes

Use A Sheet Pan: In this easy roasted beets recipe, we use the skillet on the stovetop and the oven. However, you can also use a sheet pan to roast beets. Just preheat the oven to 400F, arrange cubed beets on a prepared baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes or until fork-tender. You'll get the perfect sheet pan dinner.
