Roasted Beets 'n' Sweets

"Excellent, yummy. Substituted fresh garlic for powder, increased sugar to 1 tablespoon and substitued brown sugar for its maple flavor. Very Very good. The last 20 minutes of cooking I turned the o..." See moreven down to 350 degrees as to not dry out the veggies. "

"This is so good- If you think you don't like beets, you're wrong! Make them this way and you'll be a beetaholic!

I didn't cook them ahead; just threw them into pan with the rest and cooked for 45 minutes. Everything came out tender and delicious! My grandmom, the sweet-potato-hater, asked me to bring the same dish to Christmas!!"
