Ingredients
  

  • 5-6 medium beets, approximately 32 oz (907g)
  • 2 tbsp (1 fl oz / 30g) extra virgin olive oil
  • 0.25 tsp (0.05 oz / 1.5g) sea salt
  • 0.25 tsp (0.02 oz / 0.5g) freshly ground black pepper
  • 0.5 cups (4 fl oz / 120g) balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tbsp (1 oz / 30g) maple syrup
  • 1 tsp (0.07 oz / 2g) fresh orange zest
  • Protect Your Hands and Cutting Board: Red beets are notorious for staining everything they touch. Wear a pair of food-safe disposable gloves and lightly oil your cutting board (or use a plastic one that you don't mind staining) before peeling and slicing.
  • Watch the Glaze Closely: When reducing the balsamic vinegar and maple syrup, do not walk away from the stove. The high sugar content means the mixture can go from a perfect, thick syrup to a burnt, bitter mess in just a matter of seconds. Remove it from the heat as soon as it coats the back of a spoon.
  • Try Golden Beets: If you want a slightly sweeter, milder flavor (and zero red stains on your hands!), swap the red beets for golden beets. They look beautiful on the plate and roast exactly the same way.
