Steps:
- *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.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a roasting pan with parchment paper.
- Combine the beets, oil, salt, anise seeds, cinnamon stick pieces, orange juice and pomegranate molasses in the pan, tossing to coat the beets evenly.
- 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.
- Discard the cinnamon stick pieces.
- Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with orange zest (and minced fresh herb of choice if using).
- Serve warm.
