ROASTED BEET BURGER
I saw a picture of a roasted beet toast that looked so delicious, I had to create my own. I decided to make the beet into a roasted beet “burger,” but you could also shred the beet for something fun and messier to eat :).
Ingredients
- 1 large beet peeled and sliced into 4–5 1/2-inch thick pieces
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon walnut oil optional, only if you like
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 Tablespoons chopped walnuts
- 1/4 cup feta or blue cheese crumbles
- Freshly ground pepper to taste
- Optional garnish: 1/4 cup fresh thyme or basil chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350˚F.
- Place the cut beets on a baking sheet and toss with the olive oil, walnut oil and garlic.
- Roast for 35 to 40 minutes, turning once or twice with a spatula, until the beets are tender.
- Remove from the oven and toss with walnuts, blue cheese and pepper.
- Sprinkle with fresh thyme or basil and serve warm. Suggestion: place on top of toasted whole grain bread.
