Honey Roasted Beets are not only delicious, they are an easy tasty side dish for the holidays or for any day. With just four ingredients, these beets only take about 30 minutes to roast to delicious, tender perfection.
Place the beets in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Drizzle the oil and honey into the bowl.
1 tablespoon olive oil, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 teaspoon Salt, ½ teaspoon Fresh ground black pepper to taste
Mix the beets well so that all of the pieces are basted with the oil and honey.
Spread the beet pieces out on a parchment-lined baking sheet. This will save on clean up. Roast them in a preheated 400°F oven for about 30 minutes until they are tender and caramelized.
To Air Fry Roasted Beets
Do steps 1-4 above.
To air-fry the beets, spread out the pieces on the air fryer basket. Air fry for 6-8 minutes at 350°F. Shake the basket or flip the pieces. Air fry for another 4 minutes. Test the beets. If they are starting to soften, increase the temperature to 400°F, flip them and air fry for another 4 minutes. Test for doneness. If they aren’t quite done, air fry at 4 minute intervals until the beets are tender and the edges are caramelized.
