Ingredients

- 4 medium-sized beets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons sour cream
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted

Instructions

1. Prepare the Beets
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C).
- Peel the beets and cut them into 1-inch cubes.

2. Season the Beets
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the beet cubes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of salt.
- Toss the beets until they are evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.

3. Roasting the Beets
- Spread the seasoned beets in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Roast in the preheated oven for about 35 minutes, or until the beets are tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through the roasting time.

4. Prepare the Dressing
- While the beets are roasting, in a small bowl, mix 3 tablespoons of sour cream with 2 tablespoons of honey until well combined.

5. Toast the Sesame Seeds
- In a small, dry skillet over medium heat, toast the sesame seeds for about 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are golden brown and fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.

6. Assemble and Serve
- Once the beets are roasted, transfer them to a serving dish.
- Drizzle the honey-sour cream mixture over the beets.
- Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds on top for added crunch and flavor.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
