Roasted Beets and Carrots with Honey-Balsamic Glaze
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

  2. 2

    Wrap the beets in aluminum foil and place them in a baking dish. Toss the carrots with oil, then spread them in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

  3. 3

    Roast the beets in the preheated oven for 1 1/2 hours, adding the carrots for the final 30 minutes. Remove the beets and set them aside to cool. Check the carrots for tenderness; roast for up to 20 minutes more if needed.

  4. 4

    Peel the beets and chop them into 1-inch pieces.

  5. 5

    Combine the balsamic vinegar and honey in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the beets and carrots, then simmer until the sauce thickens and the vegetables are glazed, 5 to 10 minutes. Serve.
