10 Tips for Making Beetroot Dishes

  1. Roast beets in foil to lock in flavour and moisture.

  2. Choose similar-sized beets so they cook evenly.

  3. Rub off skins after roasting using paper towels—no peeler needed.

  4. Use gloves if you don’t want stained hands.

  5. Pair with acidic elements like citrus or vinegar to balance earthiness.

  6. Toast walnuts in a dry skillet for maximum crunch and flavour.

  7. Serve the salad slightly warm for best taste and texture.

  8. Store roasted beets in the fridge for up to 5 days.

  9. Add protein like chickpeas or quinoa to make it a meal.

  10. Try golden beets for a sweeter, milder twist.
