- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Wash the beets thoroughly to remove any dirt. Trim the stems and roots, then wrap each beet individually in aluminum foil.
Step 3
Place the wrapped beets on a baking sheet and roast them in the oven for 40-45 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the roasted beet cubes and pineapple chunks.
Step 8
Drizzle the balsamic dressing over the beets and pineapple, tossing gently to coat evenly.
