Ingredients

US Customary - Metric

1 lb beets peeled and sliced
2 tbsp honey
1 tbsp butter melted
1 tbsp olive oil
¼ cup pistachios chopped
salt and pepper

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 °F. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
Wash, peel, and slice beets 1/4-inch thick.
Place the sliced beets in a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add the honey and melted butter. Mix to combine.
Put the sliced beets on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Bake uncovered for 10 minutes. Test doneness with a fork. Bake an additional 5 minutes if needed.
Remove the beets and add them to a serving bowl. Sprinkle with chopped pistachios and serve.

Notes

Beets stain! If you don't want pink hands, use gloves or hold the beet with a paper towel while peeling. If you do end up with stained hands, it washes off after a couple of hand washings.

Slice evenly for even cooking. Aim for 1/8 to 1/4-inch thick slices. A mandoline makes this super easy and consistent, but a sharp knife works just fine. Uneven slices will cook at different rates.

Single layer is key. Lay the beet slices in one single layer on your baking sheet. If they overlap, they'll steam instead of roast and you'll lose that caramelized texture.

Line your pan. Use foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup — beets will stain the pan otherwise.

Check at 10 minutes. Thickness and personal preference both affect cook time. Poke with a fork at 10 minutes — if you want them softer, give them another 5 minutes. I like mine al dente with just a little bite left.

Add pistachios after roasting. Sprinkle them on right before serving so they stay nice and crunchy.
