Made With Just Salt & Olive Oil – a Simple & Delicious Recipe for Roasted Fresh Red Beets.

Beets – An Acquired Taste

I suppose beets are a bit of an acquired taste. People love them or hate them. Their flavor is described as earthy or metallic, which I get, but they also have a sweet and almost tangy taste to them. I love them raw, juiced, steamed, pickled and roasted, of course.

The Beautiful Simplicity of Roasted Vegetables

Roasted root veggies. The beauty of it all – a little olive oil, salt and a hot oven is all it takes to transform a plain old root into a lovely vegetable. Tender on the outside, caramelized with a little bite of crisp on the outside – that’s a root vegetable at it’s finest.

Roasting is a perfectly simple way to prepare beets. Make sure you wear a pair of gloves unless you want to share your love of beets for all to see with your crimson stained hands. I scrub, peel and quarter the beets. The latter two are optional.

I usually roast veggies at 375° – 400°. This temperature range has always worked best for me. I toss and flip the veggies a few times, but if I forget them for a bit, things don’t start to burn. You can certainly roast at higher temps and reduced times, just keep a closer eye on the veggies and flip more often.

Serve As Is or With a Drizzle of Balsamic

I love these beets served as is. Taste & adjust salt if necessary. A drizzle of balsamic vinegar also compliments them nicely.

Thanks for stopping by!

      A lot of people ask this! They’re kind of hard to explain – they have a flavor all of their own. My daughter says they’re like a sweet and sour carrot lol. They do have a bit of an earthy flavor. So hard to describe….
