A drizzle of balsamic glaze over oven-roasted beets with a touch of ripe blackberries, crushed pecans and soft goat cheese crumbles – this Roasted Beets with Berries and Goat Cheese recipe brings a beautiful twist to classic roasted beets. It’s a healthy beetroot recipe that’s as bright as it is flavorful.
Place an oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Cover a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Spray the aluminum foil with a thin layer of non-stick cooking spray.
Remove any greens from the beets, being careful not to nick the tops of the beets too closely to the flesh to avoid a juicy purple mess. Scrub your beets under warm water to remove any dirt and grime. Use a sponge, if needed.
Cut the top and bottom ends off the beets. Next, slice the beets in half, and then into quarters.
Roast beets for 50 minutes. At the 25 minute mark, pierce a few pieces of beetroot with a fork to check progress, and then toss. 10 minutes before completion, add the blackberries (dispersed among the beets) to the baking sheet.
Transfer the beets and blackberries to a serving platter and sprinkle with crumbled goat cheese. Garnish with the pecans and drizzle with balsamic glaze. Serve immediately and enjoy!
