Beets are a fantastic earthy veg. They have a beautiful purple-red hue, which unfortunately can also be a frustrating stain on your hands or cutting board. This tip helps keep some of that color contained and results in a beautifully roasted beet. Ready to be used and eaten.

You may need to change out paper towels between beets...

It’s like peeling the potato skin from a boiled potato for fries....

Tada! Your beet is ready to eat or slice and season.
A very simple salad; sliced beets with goat cheese crumbles and sliced red onions. Sprinkle with salt & pepper, drizzle with olive oil...enjoy!
Or try the beets with the Roasted Beet recipe, a dressing with orange juice and raspberry vinegar, from the site.
