Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F/200 degrees C. Place the beets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and drizzle with olive oil.

Step 2

Roast the beets for 25 minutes. Take them out of the oven and flip them, and return to the oven to roast for an additional 20 minutes.

Step 3

Meanwhile, make the dressing. Combine 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, minced garlic, 1 teaspoon honey, 1 tablespoon vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste.

Step 4

Toss the beets in the dressing and serve. Garnish with fresh herbs (cilantro, scallions, and parsley all work great) if desired and serve.
