Print Friendly, PDF & Email

Try a sweet glaze on beets or other root vegetables to help balance their earthy flavor. This recipe will work with steamed carrots, turnips or rutabaga, too.

Ingredients

  • 3 Tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons orange juice
  • 1 Tablespoon butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 3 cups steamed cubed beets, 1/2- to 1-inch cubes

Instructions:

  1. Steam Beets
    • To steam on the stovetop: Place in a steamer basket over 1 inch of boiling water in a large pot. Cover and steam over high heat until tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
    • To steam in the microwave: Place in a glass baking dish, add 2 tablespoons water, cover tightly and microwave on high until tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Let stand, covered, for 5 minutes.
  2. Combine brown sugar, orange juice, butter, salt and pepper in a large nonstick skillet. Cook over medium heat until sugar and butter are melted and starting to bubble. Stir in beets and cook until most of the liquid has evaporated and the beets are coated with glaze, 6 to 8 minutes
