Beets are delicious (really, they are!), and they're part of a healthy Mediterranean diet that may help lower cholesterol, reduce inflammation and increase heart health, among the other health benefits of beets.

Recipe Notes
- I used a casserole dish sprayed with cooking spray, but you can also use a metal baking pan lined with aluminum foil, which makes for easy cleanup (beets can be messy)!
- The bright color of beets can rub off on fingers, clothing or counters, so quick cleanup to avoid staining is helpful.
- I stirred the beets halfway through the baking time, but it's not absolutely necessary.
- Store leftovers in a container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat in the microwave.
Here's how to make it:
- In a large mixing bowl, add the olive oil, balsamic vinegar and honey. Stir to combine.
-
Add the beets to the mixing bowl and toss to coat beets in the mixture.
-
Pour the beets into a casserole dish or baking pan in an even layer. Add salt and pepper, to taste, if desired.
-
Bake in a preheated 375-degree F oven. About halfway through the baking time (after about 15 minutes), remove pan from oven and stir beets to re-coat them in the mixture.
- Put them back into the oven to continue roasting for about 15 to 18 more minutes, or until crisp-tender.
