    Candied Beets

    Step aside candied carrots, there’s a new favourite side dish in town and it’s these beets! I’m a little obsessed with beets because they last so long in the fridge that if I forget about them for a week, they’re still good to cook! I’m 100% guilty of purchasing a bunch at the farmer’s market then forgetting about them. Sometimes I just get overwhelmed with all the produce options and end up buying too much.

    So beets are great for the holiday season as you can grab them ahead of time and store in your fridge without having to worry about them spoiling or having to add another item on your grocery list the two days before your dinner plans.

    How to Cook Beets

    I have a few methods of cooking beets for this candied beets recipe. You can cook your beets whichever way you’d like before putting them in your honey butter brown sugar glaze.

    • Instant Pot Beets
    • Oven Roasted Beets
    • Slow Cooker Beets

    What You’ll Need to Make Candied Beets

    • cooked beets – I used golden beets for mine but you can use red beets or candy cane beets.
    • butter – unsalted
    • brown sugar
    • honey

    How To Make Candied Beets

    • In a pan on medium-heat, melt unsalted butter.
    • Once the butter has melted, add in the brown sugar and stir until the sugar has melted.
    • Stir in honey and continue to stir as the mixture starts to bubble and reduce. It should start thickening up.
    • Once thickened, add in the cooked beets and stir until the beets are coated in the sweet glaze.
    • Continue to stir and let the glaze cook with the beets for another 2-4 minutes.
    • Serve immediately.
