Recipe View Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce is glossy and coats the beets evenly, about 1-2 minutes more. Serve the glazed beets hot or at room temperature. Garnish with fresh thyme, if desired.

For a deeper flavor, roast the beets instead of boiling. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then roast at 400°F (200°C) until tender.
The glazed beets can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving.
Adjust the amount of brown sugar and vinegar to suit your taste. If you prefer a sweeter glaze, add a little more brown sugar. For a tangier flavor, increase the vinegar slightly.
