1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon anise seed (lightly crushed to release oil)

1
*Note: I used small spring beets which means they were not peeled. I also did not cut the beets into chunks but in half due to their size.
2
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a roasting pan with parchment paper.
3
Combine the beets, oil, salt, anise seeds, cinnamon stick pieces, orange juice and pomegranate molasses in the pan, tossing to coat the beets evenly.
4
Spread the beets in a single layer and roast for about 45 minutes, shaking the pan a few times to roast the beets evenly and roasting the beets until they are fork-tender.
5
Discard the cinnamon stick pieces.
6
Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with orange zest (and minced fresh herb of choice if using).
7
Serve warm.
