Prep Time 10 minutes
Total Time 1 hour 45 minutes

Ingredients

• 4 medium/large beets
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 3 tablespoons Nature Nate’s Raw & Unfiltered Honey
• 1/3 cup minced parsley

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Wrap beets in foil and roast in a shallow pan for about 1 1/2 hours, until softened. Cool slightly, peel and cut into small cubes (about the size of a sugar cube.) In a skillet, melt the butter, saute the garlic and stir in the cubed beets. Coat the beets well, stirring often, until softened and heated through. Add the honey, salt and all but about 1 tablespoon parsley. Toss well. Spoon into a serving dish and garnish with the remaining parsley.

Tip: This dish is delicious with lamb chops. Saute the beet greens and place the cubed beets on top for extra flavour and fibre.
