Packed with natural sweetness and vibrant color, this beetroot recipe is sure to become a family favorite!

Ingredients:

• 4 medium-sized beetroots (peeled and diced)

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• 1 small onion (finely chopped)

• 2 garlic cloves (minced)

• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

• Salt and pepper to taste

• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)

• 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

• 1 tablespoon honey (optional for added sweetness)

• 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional for topping)

Directions:

1. Prepare the Beets: Begin by peeling and dicing the beetroots into small cubes. Wear gloves to avoid staining your hands with beet juice.

2. Cook the Beets: Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the diced beets and sauté them for about 5-7 minutes until they start to soften and brown slightly.

3. Add Onions and Garlic: Toss in the finely chopped onions and minced garlic, stirring occasionally. Let them cook for another 3-5 minutes, until the onions become translucent and fragrant.

4. Season and Simmer: Add balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper to taste. Mix well. Cover the pan and reduce the heat to low. Let the beets simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.

5. Finish with Flavor: Once the beets are fully cooked, drizzle in lemon juice and honey (if using) for an extra touch of freshness and sweetness. Stir everything together until well combined.

6. Serve and Enjoy: Transfer the cooked beets to a serving dish and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Optionally, you can top them with crumbled feta cheese for a tangy finish.
