Oven Roasted Red Beets with Low Carb Balsamic Glaze and Feta Cheese
Oven roasted red beets are sweet, rich, tender, and an incredible addition to salads or great as a side dish for any meal! Paired with balsamic vinegar and olive oil, they’re naturally gluten free, paleo and vegan. Add some feta cheese for a burst of tangy flavor.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds beets
- ½ cup balsamic vinegar
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 6 ounces Feta cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375º.
- Wash and peel the beets using a vegetable peeler. Cut into 1-inch chunks (see note in #4 below on cooking times).
- Toss the beets with a generous amount of balsamic vinegar and olive oil. You may need more than I've listed above to make sure all the pieces are well coated with both oil and vinegar.
- Spread beets in a single layer on a baking sheet with a rim. Roast them at 375º for 30 to 60 minutes, until tender. The total cooking time depends on how big you chopped the beets. Pieces around ½-3/4 of an inch will cook in about 30-40 minutes. Pieces around 1 inch will need closer to 60 minutes. Test the largest beets with a fork to make sure they are tender.
- While the beets are still hot, toss them with some additional oil and vinegar and sprinkle with a generous amount of feta cheese.

Notes
Beets release juices while cooking, so you will want to use a rimmed baking sheet for this recipe.
Chef Tim's Sweet Balsamic Vinaigrette is our balsamic glaze of choice, but you can also use plain balsamic vinegar and olive oil.
