Roasted Beets!

I have such a good time at Whole Foods in the veggie department. I can rarely make my way through the store without seeing a standout veggie just screaming for me to snap a photo.

Beets. I never thought I liked them. They taste like dirt (to me). BUT… I tried roasting them and WOW! Roasting brings out the sweetness and guess what? No dirt taste

From what I’ve read, you do not have to peel them (I did), because after they’re roasted the skin will slip right off. If you have a few that are larger than I cut them into chunks so they’re close to the same size.

How I make them…

I give them a good rinse and then peel. Cutting any larger beets into pieces to try to keep them approximately the same size. Put into a bowl with a swirl of Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO), salt and pepper and toss to coat. Then place on an oiled cookie sheet.

Bake them in a preheated oven at 425℉ for 10-15 minutes or until tender.

Usually you see red beets, but these golden beets really stood out! Give it a try some time!

Catch you back here tomorrow!
