Roasted Beets

This recipe is worth the time it takes to make. We have converted many people who said they are not a fan of beets, into loving beets roasted this way. The honey and balsamic create a perfect flavor combination with the "rooty" flavor of the beets. If you love goat cheese, crumble some over the top of your dish before serving.
