Brown sugar glazed beets
Adapted from a recipe in EatingWell by Diana, White Plains CSA These are gorgeous whether you are in the mood to mix colors and varieties, or with one type. This also works well with other root vegetables such as carrots, turnips, and rutabaga—or a combination.
Ingredients
- 5-6 medium beets trimmed but not peeled
- 3 TBS dark brown sugar
- 2 TBS orange juice
- 1 TBS unsalted butter
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 F.
- Wrap each beet individually in foil.
- Bake until they’re soft enough for a knife to pierce the skin easily, about 45 to 90 minutes depending on size. Let the beets cool, then peel them under running water.
- Cut beets into large dice.
- Combine remaining ingredients in a large nonstick skillet. Cook over medium heat until the sugar and butter melt and start to bubble. Stir in the beets and cook until most of the liquid has evaporated and the beets are coated with glaze, six to eight minutes.
