Balsamic Beets

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Wash & chop beets into bit sized pieces & place in large roasting pan (stoneware, pyrex, roaster etc - something with a higher edge). I leave the peel on (providing they are organic and not covered in mud).
2. 2
   Peel & chop onion into bite sized julienned style pieces & place in roasting pan.
3. 3
   Peel garlic cloves & place in roasting pan.
4. 4
   Pour oil & 1/2 of the balsamic vinegar over beets, onions & garlic in roasting pan. Ensure that pan seems to be very well coated in balsamic (meaning each beet seems to glisten with balsamicky goodness) if not, add more balsamic.
5. 5
   Sprinkle salt & pepper over entire dish.
6. 6
   Place in oven & roast for approximately 10 minutes. Toss/flip beets with spatula to allow balsamic mixture to re-coat and to allow the other sides of the beets to crunch up.
7. 7
   Roast for approximately another 5-10 minutes or until beets are not yet completely done. Pour leftover balsamic over beets, onions & garlic.
8. 8
   Roast for approximately another 5-10 minutes or until beets are crunchy-ish around the edges and cooked through. Onions should be good through as well & garlic should be roasted, tender & squeezable between your fingers.
9. 9
   Savour! These beets are even served well the next day (as seen in the attached picture for lunch the next day over brown rice with cabbage & chard mmmm.
