Roasted Golden Beets with Honey

cathysmahaLeave a comment

Golden beets have become a staple in my garden. Besides roasting them, the top/greens are also delicious. They are so sweet and roasting them with honey and lemon juice adds a new twist. Leftovers can be used in salad or on their own.

Roasted Golden Beets with Honey

INGREDIENTS:
  • 3 cups roasted golden beets
  • avocado or canola oil for roasting
  • 1/2 tsp fresh thyme
  • 2 tsp fresh lemon juice
  • drizzle with honey
  • salt and pepper
DIRECTIONS:
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Clean the beets and remove the tops and stems. Place the raw, cleaned beats in a large square of aluminum foil. Sprinkle with salt. Close the foil to seal the beets.
  3. Roast for 35-40 minutes or until beets are tender. Remove from oven and cool.
  4. When cool, the skins of the beets should come off easily.
  5. Slice the beets and place in a bowl. Add thyme, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Drizzle with honey. Stir to combine.
  6. Place beets on baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast for another 10-15 minutes to carmelize.

Roasted Kohlrabi and Beets…Really!

cathysmaha1 Comment

This is the first year that I have participated in Grant Farms Community Supported Agriculture (CSA).  My older daughter, Megan, and I decided to try it this year and we’ve enjoyed the fruit and vegetable surprises each week.

Kohlrabi was not a new vegetable to me but I haven’t had it since I lived at home on the farm.  My Mother would slice it and eat it raw with salt. It reminds me of a very crisp, slightly sweet, potato. However, I wanted to try something different and decided to roast it with a few red and gold beets, also in my CSA delivery.

The leftovers were equally good served chilled.  Is this my favorite vegetable recipe? No, but I’m always up for a new adventure and I enjoyed it.

ROASTED KOHLRABI AND BEETS

3 medium to large Kohlrabi, peeled and chopped
5-6 medium beets, peeled and chopped
1 large onion, chopped
1 large clove of garlic, minced
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon Kosher or Sea Salt
black pepper to taste

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit
  • Line large baking sheet with parchment paper or generously grease with olive oil.
  • Place chopped vegetables on baking sheet.  Drizzle with oil, add salt and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
  • Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and stir vegetables.  Bake another 45 minutes under tender.
