Ingredients

2 pounds medium beets (about 7), trimmed

3/4 cup fresh orange juice (from 2 to 3 oranges)

2 tablespoons white miso paste

2 1/2 teaspoons sugar 

2 1/2 teaspoons soy sauce

4 1/4-inch-thick slices ginger 

3 cloves garlic, smashed 

Kosher salt 

Sliced scallions, for topping

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400˚ F. Put the beets in a large baking dish and add 1/3 cup water; cover the dish with foil. Roast, adding more water to the pan if needed, until the beets are easily pierced with a knife, 50 to 60 minutes. Uncover and let cool. Rub off the beet skins and cut the beets into 1/2-inch-thick wedges; transfer to a medium bowl.
  2. Combine the orange juice, miso paste, sugar, soy sauce, ginger and garlic in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened and reduced to about 1/4 cup, 8 to 10 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve and pour over the beets. Season with salt and toss. Sprinkle with scallions.

We love beets, I am always looking for a new way to serve them. This is a keeper, very delicious. the only thing I did different was to make a slurry of cornstarch and orange juice to thicken the glaze. Either way, a winner
