I had a farmboy boyfriend who showed me how to make Roasted Root Vegetables. We did small potatoes and beets and organic baby carrots, rub them with olive oil and sprinkle with pepper, or garlic salt or whatever you like then roast in the oven, I put the carrots in later because they cook faster.
I like to cook them, peel them and pour some rice vinegar over them and then let them cool. I keep them in a jar in the refrigerator...they keep forever. Ciao, Kate
We prefer our beets roasted too. My husband is originally from Iran. When he was a child, the beet vendors used to set up where the kids got off the bus every afternoon in the fall & winter. My husband said the smell of roasted sugar beets was impossible to resist and much to his mom's dismay, he would buy one & eat it before dinner. It is one of his favorite memories from Tehran.
