- add review
- #123274
Hard to "beet" perfectly roasted veggies with a flavorful glaze. Tart grapefruit along with sweet maple syrup balances out the earthy flavor of roasted beets.
serves/makes:
ready in:
1-2 hrs
1-2 hrs
ingredients
3 pounds fresh beets
1 cup pink grapefruit juice
1 tablespoon unseasoned rice vinegar
3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1 tablespoon cornstarch
directions
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
Trim off any greens from the beets. Divide the beets between sheets of foil, about 1 1/2 pounds of beets per sheet of foil. Fold the foil up around the beets and add about 3 tablespoons of water to each. Seal the edges of the foil.
Place the foil packets on a rimmed baking sheet. Place the beets in the oven and roast at 450 degrees F for 1 hour or until the beets can be easily pierced with a fork.
Remove the beets from the oven. Carefully open the foil packets to release the steam and let the beets cool enough until they can be handled.
Rub or slice the skins from the beets then slice the beets thinly. Place the beets in a serving dish. Cover the dish with foil to keep the beets warm.
Combine the grapefruit juice, rice vinegar, and maple syrup in a bowl and whisk to combine.
Place the cornstarch in a saucepan and whisk in the grapefruit mixture, mixing until the cornstarch is dissolved. Place the pan over medium heat and bring the mixture just to a boil, stirring constantly.
Reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring frequently, for 3-5 minutes or until the mixture is thick and syrupy.
Drizzle the grapefruit glaze over the beets and serve immediately.
recipe tips
Try adding a sprinkle of crumbled goat cheese or toasted nuts to the beets before serving.
Use fresh grapefruit juice for the best flavor in the glaze.
Make sure to cool the beets slightly before peeling and slicing to avoid burning yourself.
Add a touch of balsamic vinegar to the glaze for a deeper flavor.

Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.
It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).
