Before we get into making this balsamic roasted beetroot salad, here are some tips for roasting beets the right way:
Tips for roasting beetroot:
Use small-sized beetroots as they take less time to roast in the oven.
They are usually sweet and tender in the middle.
I usually peel the skin off, as it tastes bitter; however, it is your preference.
Halfway roasting, take a fork and stick it into the beets to check if they are nicely cooked; if not, allow them more roasting time.
Cut into small wedges, so it takes less roasting time.
While the vegetables are roasting, make the salad dressing! This is how I work fast in the kitchen ;-)
I also love this recipe because it can be served with burgers, hummus, or a filling of shawarma! The flavors are so versatile that I usually have this for breakfast as the apples make my mornings sweeter.
So, take out the roasting tray, and let's get this roasting started!
