Urchin was fascinated by the mess of preparing beetroot |
Another veg box, another pile of carrots and beetroot. I roasted them separately (the beetroot whole, wrapped in foil, the carrots peeled and cut into chunks and rolled with a little olive oil) until tender, which takes much, much longer than you think it should. When the beetroot was tender, I peeled it and cut it into chunks and combined it with the carrots, and tossed it with a mixture of 2tbs maple syrup, 1tbs balsamic and 1/2 tsp chipotle paste.
Makes a good side dish, or a meal in itself with some cheese on toast. Or just some feta crumbled on top would be nice.

Beautiful, I bet it would be good with goat cheese also!
how long?
The color of your dish is amazing. I'll wager this was delicious. Have a wonderful day. Blessings...Mary
Cafe Sucre - definitely good with goats cheese!
Mother - these had 1 1/2 hours and could have done with longer. Definitely better to do when you already have something in the oven.
Mary - the colour is wonderful, isn't it?
Sounds wonderful! And I love that photo of curious Urchin - so dark and mysterious!
Very interesting vinaigrette! Would never have occurred to me to use maple syrup! Roasting those veggies would make them so flavorful! Yes, goat cheese might be a perfect addition.
Oh I love the photo of Urchin. So curious, haha. We love beets especially when roasted.
I love carrots and beetroot and I think they're best roasted. It really does bring out the flavour. I'm sure this was really delicious especially with the dressing you put on them - and colourful too! xx
i do love the color of beets...as long as it stays on the beets and not on my clothes and/or body. it's futile, though. meanwhile, your kitty is adorable and i love her name!
Amazing colour. I wonder why veg always takes so much longer to roast than you think it's going to. I do like the idea of adding feta to it too - creamy and delicious.
