Marinated Beets Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the Beets

   Wash the beets thoroughly under running water. Trim the tops and roots. Place the beets in a pot of boiling salted water and cook for about 30-40 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.

2. 2

   Cool and Peel

   Once cooked, remove the beets from the boiling water and let them cool. Once cool enough to handle, peel the skins off using your hands or a paper towel.

3. 3

   Slice the Beets

   Slice the peeled beets into thin rounds or wedges, as you prefer.

4. 4

   Make the Marinade

   In a bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, olive oil, red wine vinegar, honey, fresh thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

5. 5

   Marinate the Beets

   Place the sliced beets in a bowl or jar and pour the marinade over them. Toss to coat the beets evenly. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

6. 6

   Serve

   Serve the marinated beets chilled or at room temperature as a side dish or salad.
