Marinated beets are a delicious and healthy side dish that can be prepared in advance and kept in the fridge for several days. Here’s a simple recipe for marinated beets:
Ingredients:
- 4-5 medium-sized beets, peeled and sliced
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh herbs (optional), such as parsley or thyme
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Slice the beets into thin rounds or wedges, depending on your preference.
- Spread the beet slices out in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the beets and toss to coat.
- Season the beets with salt and pepper to taste.
- Roast the beets in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
- While the beets are roasting, prepare the marinade. In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, honey, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Once the beets are done roasting, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
- Transfer the beets to a large bowl and pour the marinade over them.
- Toss the beets in the marinade until they are well coated.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 3 days) to allow the flavors to develop.
- Before serving, garnish with fresh herbs, if desired.
