Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. (5 minutes)

02

Step
10 mins

Wrap each beet individually in aluminum foil. Place the wrapped beets in a baking dish. Toss the carrots with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Arrange the carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. (10 minutes)

03

Step
5 mins

Roast the beets in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 30 minutes. Add the baking sheet with carrots to the oven during the last 30 minutes of the beets' roasting time. Check the carrots for tenderness; if needed, continue roasting for up to 20 minutes longer, or until fork-tender. (1 hour 50 minutes)

04

Step
1 hrs 30 mins

Once the beets are cool enough to handle, peel them and chop into 1-inch pieces. (15 minutes)

05

Step
15 mins

In a large saucepan or skillet, combine balsamic vinegar and honey over medium heat. Bring to a gentle simmer. (5 minutes)

06

Step
7 mins

Add the roasted beets and carrots to the saucepan. Gently toss to coat the vegetables with the honey-balsamic glaze. Simmer for 5-10 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and the vegetables are beautifully glazed. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. (10 minutes)

07

Step
3 mins

Season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh thyme sprigs, if desired. Serve hot or warm and enjoy!

For a deeper flavor, use aged balsamic vinegar.
Consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the glaze for a touch of heat.
Roasted beets and carrots can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
If you don't have fresh thyme, you can use dried thyme (about 1/2 teaspoon) in the glaze.
To elevate the presentation, arrange the glazed beets and carrots on a serving platter and sprinkle with crumbled goat cheese or toasted nuts.
