Here is your shopping list for this high-fiber recipe: fresh beets, olive oil, balsamic vinegar and honey. Toss to coat then bake until tender.

Ingredients

• 3 large beets, peeled and cut into small pieces
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons honey

Here's how to make it:

1. In a large mixing bowl, add the olive oil, balsamic vinegar and honey. Stir to combine.
2. Add the beets to the mixing bowl and toss to coat beets in the mixture.
3. Pour the beets into a casserole dish or baking pan in an even layer. Add salt and pepper, to taste, if desired. (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!)
4. 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.
5. Put them back into the oven to continue roasting for about 15 to 18 more minutes, or until crisp-tender. Store leftovers in a container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat in the microwave.
