Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.

Peel the beets and chop them into 3/4-inch cubes. Chop the carrots into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Arrange in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Drizzle the beets and carrots with the olive oil and honey. Sprinkle with the salt and black pepper. Use a rubber spatula to toss beets and carrots until evenly coated.

Roast the beets and carrots on middle rack of oven, stirring once during cook time, until they are fork tender and slightly caramelized, 60-75 minutes.

Check to see that beets and carrots are done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.

Sprinkle with additional salt and pepper, if desired, and serve immediately.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Cut Uniform Sizes 🔪
Cut beets and carrots into similarly-sized pieces (about 1-1.5 inches) so they roast evenly and finish at the same time, preventing some from being undercooked while others burn.
Peel Beets After Roasting 🧅
Roast beets with skins intact to prevent nutrient loss and staining, then simply rub off the papery skin with paper towels after cooking when they're still warm—it slides off effortlessly.
Honey Application Timing ⏱️
Drizzle honey in the last 8-10 minutes of roasting rather than at the start, preventing it from burning and ensuring it caramelizes beautifully to coat the vegetables with a glossy finish.
Separate Initial Roasting 🥘
Start beets 10-15 minutes before carrots since beets take longer to become tender; this ensures both vegetables reach optimal doneness simultaneously without overcooking the carrots.
Quality Oil Makes a Difference 🫒
Drizzle your best extra virgin olive oil after roasting rather than before to preserve its delicate, complex flavor profile that complements the natural sweetness of the roasted vegetables.
