Honey Dijon Roasted Beets
I love roasted vegetables of all types, but these beets are seriously good. Nothing quite matches the intensity of beets. Roasting them brings out a hearty full expression of the vegetable. The beets become sweet and tender, developing a deeply fruity and slightly nutty flavor. In this recipe, the delightful combination of sweetness and earthiness of the roasted beets is highlighted with the tang of mustard.

Step-by-step
- Heat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Remove greens and root from beets (but don't trim closely).
- Place beets in medium bowl, drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss.
- Transfer to roasting pan and spread beets in a single layer; roast in oven until tender, about 15 to 20 minutes for small, 45 minutes for very large.
- Remove pan from oven and let beets cool.
- When cool enough to handle, remove skins and quarter or cut into eighths depending on size.
- Melt butter in a large pan over medium-high heat.
- Add beets and cook, stirring often, until lightly caramelized, about 4 to 6 minutes.
- Drizzle lemon juice over beets and season with salt and pepper.
- Stir in mustard and continue to cook over medium heat 2 minutes.
- If desired, add mint and stir to coat the beets.
