Balsamic Beets

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Slow roasted beets covered with a balsamic vinaigrette might just be the last minute addition to your Thanksgiving Menu you’ve been looking for!  Beets aren’t really traditional Thanksgiving fare, but they would certainly add color and a sweet note to your menu if you decide to buck tradition and serve these beauties!

They are best served warm or at room temperature as a side dish, or with sturdy crackers and a bit of goat cheese as an appetizer.  If you have a little dressing left over, save it to add to the beets if you end up with leftovers.  In my experience, though, there are never any leftovers.
