Roasted Beets with Balsamic Glaze Recipe

· 2 pounds beets, scrubbed clean, tops removed

· 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil

· Salt

· 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar

· 2 teaspoons sugar

· 1 teaspoon grated orange zest

· Freshly ground black pepper

1 Preheat oven to 400°F and line pan with aluminum foil.

2 Prepare the beets: Place the beets in the pan. Rub olive oil over the beets, sprinkle with salt. Cover the beets with another sheet of aluminum foil.

3 Roast the beets: Roast for 1 to 2 hours, test every fifteen minutes by poking with a fork after 1 hour. Once the fork goes in easily, remove from the oven.

4 Prepare balsamic glaze: While the beets are cooling, prepare the balsamic glaze. In a small sauté pan, add the balsamic vinegar and sugar. Heat on high until the vinegar has reduced to a syrup consistency. Remove from heat.

5 Peel and cut cooked beets: After the beets have cooled, but are still warm to the touch, peel off the outer skins and discard. Cut the beets into quarters.

6 Pour glaze over beets: Place beets in a serving bowl. Pour balsamic glaze over the beets. Stir in grated orange zest, salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with a little orange zest to serve.
