Maple-Glazed Beets - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 bunches medium beets, trimmed and cut into wedges (I sometimes use canned whole beets when I'm in a hurry)
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup maple syrup
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup chopped scallion

Preparation

Heat oven to 375 degrees. In ovenproof skillet, toss beets with olive oil. Bake 30 minutes, then cover with aluminum foil and bake 1 hour more.
(For canned beets, cook on stove until thoroughly heated through, then drain and continue with recipe.).
Remove foil; stir in 1/2 cup water, maple syrup and vinegar. Place skillet on stovetop. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook 5-8 minutes, or until mixture is reduced to a syrupy consistency. Transfer to serving dish and and sprinkle with scallions.
