Beets are one of my favorite vegetables, and I'm always looking for a new way to make them . I was visiting a blog called Vegansaurus and I saw this recipe with the most appealing picture. A picture is worth a 1000 words. One look at her photo and I was convinced that I had to taste them immediately! . Her photo was so rich and inviting, it got my beet juices flowing. I made the recipe for dinner that night , and I wasn't disappointed. The caramelized beets were the best beets I ever had.

I happened to have some fresh beets in the refrigerator . The recipe calls for Balsamic vinegar, but I had have two gourmet flavored vinegars in the closet that I wanted to try: cranberry pear and orange champagne. I decided to try the cranberry pear vinegar that I had just received as a gift from our good friends Melissa and Stu. It has a sweet delicious mild taste. I also decided to add carrots to the recipe as well.

2 tablespoons olive oil or organic coconut oil
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar + extra for drizzling and or dipping
Optional: Use a flavored vinegar instead of balsamic ( I use cranberry pear)
Optional: I added 2 cut up organic carrots in large chucks.
Directions:
Prehead over to 375 . Cover a cookie sheet ( rimmed ) with parchment
Coat beets with oil ( can put in bag and shake or just drizzle over the beets)
Roast for about 50 minutes, turning after 20 minutes. For the last 10 minutes, drizzle the vinegar over the beets until they are coated and continue to roast.
These taste great warm and I dipped mine in a little bowl of cranberry pear vinegar as I ate each one. Fabulous!
