Ingredients

• 4 medium fresh beets
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
• 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Wash and scrub the beets thoroughly to remove any dirt. Trim off the greens and roots.

Step 3

Wrap each beet individually in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet.

Step 4

Roast the beets in the oven for 40–45 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.

Step 5

While the beets are roasting, prepare the Dijon dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, olive oil, honey, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 6

Once the beets are done roasting, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool until they are safe to handle.

Step 7

Using a paper towel or your hands, gently rub the skin off each beet. It should come off easily. Be sure to wear gloves if you want to avoid staining your hands.

Step 8

Slice the peeled beets into wedges or rounds, depending on your preference.

Step 9

Transfer the sliced beets to a serving bowl. Drizzle the Dijon dressing over the beets and toss gently to coat them evenly.

Step 10

Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the top for garnish and serve warm or at room temperature.
