Celebrate the earthy sweetness of beetroot with these Mediterranean-inspired recipes and preparation tips.
Beetroot season is upon us, and there's no better time to explore the incredible versatility of this ruby-red root vegetable.
Roasting for Depth
Roasting beets concentrates their natural sugars and brings out an incredible depth of flavor. Wrap them in foil, roast at 200°C for about an hour, and the skins will slip right off.
Raw and Refreshing
Don't overlook raw beets! Grated into salads or sliced paper-thin, they add a fresh, earthy crunch that's irresistible. Pair with goat cheese, walnuts, and a honey-lemon dressing.
Pickling Perfection
Pickled beets are a Mediterranean staple. The acidity cuts through their earthiness and makes them incredibly versatile. Try them on sandwiches, in salads, or as a colorful addition to your mezze spread.
