One of my favorite hobbies is grabbing ingredients I don’t usually cook with and making them the star of the dish. That’s right, golden beets, it’s your moment to shine. In the words of Harry Styles… you’re so goldennnnn. If you have never been a fan of red beets, then I urge you to dive into wonderful world of golden beets. They have a noticeably less earthy taste and are sweeter than a red beet.
Roasting Golden Beets
There is something wholesome about a roasted root vegetable with some simple seasoning that makes you feel connected to the earth. For this recipe use a peeler to peel the beets and chop into moon shaped pieces. Toss in some mild oil and season with some salt and freshly ground peppercorn. Then wrap in aluminum foil and roast. I use my air-fryer at 390° for 45 minutes or until the beets are tender. You can also use your oven, however, I just got my air-fryer for Christmas and have been using it for EVERYTHING.
