Roast Beets + Red Onions

Super Simple + Super Tasty



Beets Ingredients

  • Large red beets or baby colored beets - quantity and colors are your choice



Pickled Onions Ingredients

  • 1 large red onion, thinly sliced

  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar

  • 1 Tbs maple syrup

  • 1 1/2 tsps salt

  • 1 cup water

  • Optional: I like to add a Hibiscus tea bag to enhance the red color!



Instructions

  • Mix all pickled onion ingredients and allow to marinate for a few hours (or days in the fridge)

  • Wrap beets in foil and roast in 400º oven for one hour or more if the beets are really large

  • Once cooled somewhat, but still warm, remove foil from beets, slide the skins off and cut into bite size pieces

  • Add beets to the pickled onion mixture and allow to marinate, preferably overnight. The flavors are better the next day.



Notes

  • To avoid red hands, use plastic gloves (or baggies) when peeling the beets
