How to Make Maple Glazed Beets

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Wash and trim 1 pound of beets. Cut into 1-inch cubes (or leave whole for larger beets).
  3. In an oven-safe skillet, toss beets with 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  4. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes.
  5. Cover the skillet with aluminum foil and bake for another 45-60 minutes, or until beets are tender when pierced with a fork.
  6. Remove foil. Add 1/2 cup water, 1/4 cup maple syrup, and 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (optional) to the skillet.
  7. Place skillet on the stovetop over medium-high heat.
  8. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5-8 minutes, or until the liquid has reduced to a syrupy consistency, stirring occasionally.
  9. Transfer the glazed beets to a serving dish. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons chopped scallions before serving.
