Roasted Beets

My love of beets came later in life. Now I can't get enough of the earthy taste of them. Always a staple in our garden, we process and freeze them so we can enjoy them all year long. Tossed in a balsamic marinade and then roasted they make a perfect side dish or addition to a salad. Add onion and other root vegetables to make it even more hearty.
