Balsamic-Honey Roasted Beets and Carrots are a healthy and nutrient-rich side dish perfect for the upcoming holidays!
This is one of those side dishes that is so pretty with it’s vibrant colors, and super tasty, too! I love the contrast between the orange, red and yellow and the pretty sheen that the glaze gives them. Granted, there are different colors of boths carrots and beets, so you can pick and choose if you’d rather use different color combinations, but I love the red, orange and yellow, plus they are the most available to me.
Hubby is a big fan of beets and I am typically not, so I don’t make them very often, but I decided to try them with a glaze that’s a little sweet and tart, and it made a world of difference for me! I gobbled them right up, and you will, too!
