Roasted Baby Beets with Orange Glaze and Pistachios

Elevate tender baby beets with a bright orange glaze and crunchy pistachios for an elegant and flavorful side dish.

Ingredients

• 2 pounds baby beets, trimmed and washed
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 cup fresh orange juice
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/2 cup pistachios, shelled and chopped
• 1 tablespoon orange zest

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Place the baby beets in a large bowl and toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
