Ingredients

For the sauce

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Beets: If you’re using fresh beets, cook them until tender and slice them. If you're short on time, canned beets work just as well!

  2. Make the Sauce: In a saucepan, mix the sugar and cornstarch together.

🔍 Pro Tip: Make sure to mix the sugar and cornstarch thoroughly to avoid lumps in your sauce!

  1. Add Liquid: Pour in the vinegar, vegetable oil, and water, stirring continuously. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat and let it cook for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened.

  2. Combine: Stir in the sliced beets, coating them evenly with the sauce. Lower the heat and let the mixture simmer for an additional 30 minutes.

⏳ Tip: Allowing the beets to simmer helps them absorb the flavors of the sauce, making them even tastier!

  1. Serve: These delectable beets can be served warm or at room temperature. They are perfect alongside meats or as a stand-alone vegetarian dish.
