Roasted beetroot & red onions with cranberries and balsamic glaze

Roasted beetroot & red onions with cranberries and balsamic glaze

Honey & Co's colourful, festive dish is earthy, sweet and a little acidic. It ticks all the boxes to counter rich meat, and works especially well with pork or turkey.

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp Essential Olive Oil
  • 4 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ cinnamon stick
  • 1 red chilli, halved lengthways, deseeded if you prefer a less spicy dish
  • 4 beetroot, peeled and each cut into 6 wedges
  • 3 red onions, peeled and each cut into 6 wedges
  • 100g frozen cranberries, defrosted
  • 1 tbsp clear honey
  • 1 head red chicory, broken into leaves (optional)

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 220ºC, gas mark 7. Mix 200ml water with the olive oil, 3 tbsp balsamic vinegar, the salt, cinnamon stick, red chilli and some freshly ground black pepper.

  2. Place the beetroot wedges in a large roasting tin and pour all the liquid over. Place in the hot oven for 10 minutes, then mix to flip the wedges and return to the oven for 10 minutes more.

  3. Add the red onion to the beetroot tin, mix well and roast for 20 minutes more, mixing again halfway (there should now only be a bit of liquid left in the bottom of the roasting tray).

  4. Add the cranberries, honey and remaining balsamic to the tin, mix to coat, then return to the oven for a final 10 minutes. Mix again so everything is coated and glossy.

  5. Serve the vegetables warm in a serving platter, layered with the chicory leaves, if using

Cook’s tip

If preparing this in advance, stop at the end of stage 4, and keep the pan covered. Just before serving, add 2 tbsp water and reheat in the oven.
