One of Ted's favorite ways to eat beets, this simple recipe serves 4.
4 large beets, peeled, cut into 3/4-inch cubes
1 cup orange juice, or the juice of 3-4 oranges
2 tsp fresh chopped thyme, or 1 tsp dried thyme leaf
2-3 Tbsp honey or agave nectar, to taste
Kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper, to taste
Preheat
oven to 375°F. Place beets in a nonstick roasting pan, and stir in
remaining ingredients. Cover with aluminum foil and bake, stirring
occasionally to keep beets from sticking, for 45 minutes, or until
beets pierced with a sharp knife are tender all the way through.
