But, here's an amazing fact about the lowly beet: Eaten fresh, they're surprisingly tasty.
Roasted Beets
Prep time: 1 whole minute!
- Snip tops and tails
- Rub, tub and scrub
- Drizzle with olive oil
- Sprinkle with sea salt
- Roast @ 375 (F) until slightly tender (about 45 minutes)
Beets are simply suffering from a bad rap because cheap salad bars display their canned counterparts just to make us queasy.
Fresh beets are rich in dietary fiber, vitamin C, magnesium, iron, copper, phosphorus, and a gazillion other things that are good for us, though we're not sure why. Fresh beets are so healthy they even slow cancerous tumors. But, why wait until you have one foot in the grave to give them a try? Roasted beets are dee-lish.

Roast them with carrots, potatoes, and herbs. Then toss them with chevre cheese.
I've chastised my mother for not introducing me to beets earlier. They're every bit as yummy as carrots.
Oooh... that sounds marvelous. ;>)
