I love beets in salads or roasted.
Roasted Beets
12 beets 3 tablespoons good olive oil 2 teaspoons |Ms. Dash Original Seasoning ground black pepper 2 tablespoons raspberry vinegar and some orange juice.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Remove the tops and the roots of the beets and peel each one with a vegetable peeler. Cut the beets in 1 1/2-inch chunks. Place the cut beets on a baking sheet and toss with the olive oil, Ms. Dash Original Seasonings. Roast for 35 to 40 minutes, turning once or twice with a spatula, until the beets are tender. Remove from the oven and immediately toss with the vinegar and orange juice. Season and serve warm.

Thanks for the recipe. I love to roast beets in combination with carrots, turnips, and parsnips with a bunch of herbs.

I tried to grow beets in a container and didn’t get any beats only some leaves. Can you tell me what would be the recipe I should put in my container I live in zone 6B near Cleveland

Make sure you have a light potting mix - something designed for pots or add plenty of perlite. give them some distance from each other and keep them moist. Try again next spring! You would be in zone 6A.

[@foxruneec]
