Don’t let their mild mannered appearance fool you; these beets are off the hook. Like sassy candy, they brighten up any dish and shine on their own. Serve them as a side to Bourbon-Glazed Lamb Chops and Salad with Apple Bourbon Dressing.

Spiked baby beets

12 Baby beets, roasted and peeled

2 Tablespoons olive oil

¼ cup Maple syrup

¼ cup Bourbon

Salt and pepper to taste

Chopped parsley to garnish

Cut beets into halves or quarters to make bite sized pieces.

Heat a pan over medium high heat, and add oil, beets and maple syrup. Sauté beets until warmed through and maple syrup begins to caramelize. Remove from heat and add bourbon. Return to heat and cook until liquid is reduced and beets are glazed. Season with salt and pepper to taste and garnish with parsley to serve.
