Season well, and toss together so all the beetroot is thoroughly coated in the dressing. Roast for 25 mins until the beetroot is sticky and glazed.

    Beautifully sweet, piquant and earthy. Very easy to pop in the oven with the sunday roast. Cooked this alongside roast chicken, roast potatoes and green veg.

    Very tasty and easy to make. I served it with vegetarian rissoles and baked vegetables.

    Have made this time and time again love it. It's always a big hit with roast bird of whatever description (other than the slang one!!)

    Yum - really tasty and straightforward to make. We were going to save some for the next day but ate it all. Had it with home made chicken rissoles, new potatoes and spinach. Will make again when beetroot next appears in the veg box.

    We have a bumper crop of beetroot at the allotment this year, and rather than pickling all of it, I decided to try out a few different recipes: this one takes the prize for flavour and ease. I made a couple of changes: I used raw beetroot, and I added some goats cheese in the last few minutes of baking: devine!

    used raw baby homegrown beetroot sliced in half and cooked as per the recipe. The result was very tasty and the sticky dressing did not overpower the earthy flavour of the beetroot. would definately make this again.

    @Dilys: I usually cook it for about 35 to 40 mins, but rapped in a tin foil. You can check it from time to time and you'll know when it's done.

    Absolutely delicious! I cooked this with a leftover bulb of fennel, and even that tasted lovely. I served it with jacket potatoes and pork steaks. A winner.

    I was a bit disappointed with this. Looked as though it was going to be better than it was! I prefer it with less honey and not cooked (starting with cooked beetroot that is!). It is much fresher and the thyme stays sharp.

    The honey sets off the vinegar just right. I peeled then boiled fresh beetroot for 30 mins before roasting and served with slow roasted chicken and fresh steamed veg. Delicious.

    Very good; also tasty with maple syrup and scrapings of orange zest. In a goat's cheese, salad leaf and pumpkin seed salad. Mmmm.

    It was OK. Not a recipe that I will rush to make again. However, when I tasted the dressing for seasoning I found it was delicious so I will definitely be using that for salads in future.
