How to roast beets
We love roasting beets all year long. You can roast, keep in the fridge and add to salads, eat plain, make an appetizer with the beets and goat cheese. So many options!
You will want to roast at a hight heat. We do ours at 400 degrees.
Peeled technique
Place the peeled beet with the garlic in a baking pan. Drizzle with olive oil and salt and toss until coated. Then pop in the oven and bake for 45 minutes or until roasted. Remove from oven and let it cool.
Unpeeled technique
Place washed beets in foil. Trim the tops as well. Rub olive oil, salt and pepper onto beets. Fold up in foil and roast for 45 minutes at 400 degrees.
What to serve with Roasted Beet Hummus
You can always serve with pita chips, pitas, crackers or flatbread. But this dip is also so good with crudités. Like peeled carrots, cucumbers, red and yellow peppers and celery. This beet hummus look beautiful on a veggie charcuterie board as well!
