Ingredients
Scale
Beets
- 2 large beets, washed and peeled (peeling optional)
Seasonings and Oil
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Vinaigrette
- 2 tablespoons dark balsamic vinegar
- 2-3 teaspoons honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and allow it to fully preheat for even roasting.
- Make the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, and extra virgin olive oil until the mixture is emulsified and smooth.
- Spiralize the beets: Using a spiralizer (such as the Paderno World Spiralizer), slice the cleaned and peeled beets into spirals. This creates a noodle-like texture perfect for roasting.
- Prepare for roasting: Spread the spiralized beets evenly on a lined baking sheet. Drizzle with 1-2 tablespoons of the olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper, tossing gently to coat all pieces.
- Roast the beets: Roast in the preheated oven for 10-13 minutes, or until the beets are tender and slightly caramelized around the edges.
- Combine and serve: Transfer the roasted beets to a large bowl. Pour the honey mustard vinaigrette over the beets and toss gently until evenly coated. Serve immediately while warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Peeling the beets is optional; leaving the peels on adds nutritional value and color.
- Adjust the honey to taste for a sweeter or less sweet vinaigrette.
- The recipe can be made ahead and served at room temperature for convenience.
