Roasted Beets
This recipe involves baking the beets, which like other baked fruits and vegetables brings out the sweetness and flavour.
Ingredients
- 4 - 6 medium to large golden beets - You may choose any colour of beets
- ¼ cup Greek feta cheese
- 1 ½ tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- good grinding of fresh pepper
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 ℉
- Wash the beets. Leaving the skins on, wrap one or two at a time in foil and bake them in the oven until they are tender, 40 - 60 minutes, depending on the size of the beets.
- When the beets are done, remove them from the oven and unwrap them. Slip or peel off the skins. Cut the beets into wedges. Add salt and pepper to taste. Top with Feta cheese and then drizzle with olive oil. Toss lightly to mix.
Notes
local farmer’s market stocks the whole array of colours at harvest time, which is July to October, but in recent years, golden beets along with red beets are available year round at the local grocery store.
