golden beets.

i have been the lucky one 

witnessing women across america

eat their first real beet

beauties: i don't eat beets

me: oh really? what kind of beets have you tried?

beauties: the ones in the can

me: those are not beets

b: well i don't like them 

me: yeah i would not like those either

(then i take a bunch of these out)

b: what are those?

me: beets

roasting golden beets

*gather*

bunch of golden, red, chiogga beets

olive oil

salt

casserole dish

*fire*

oven on 375 bake

wash & dry beets

cut in half (cooks faster)

pour olive oil in dish

flesh side down & skin side up 

massage with some salt if want to

put in for 30 - 40 minutes 

fork em' to see if they are ready

let cool

then slide skin off

i pinch the back (see pic)

and the skin comes right up 

the skin is edible and good 

if you don't want to remove it

*ideas*

enjoy in salads, alone, dipped in pesto

or thinly sliced on toast with lavender goat cheese

and/or smoked salmon.. with tomatoes, citrus, greens

this is a super fancy combo i have been LOVING!

there are so many ways you can eat beets

just eating them is a great start!

enjoy beauties
