Oven Roasted Vegetables Recipe is yummy. I had never – at least that I recall – eaten beets before in my life. Ever. That is, until I met the Mister and began sharing dinners with the his family. I must confess I didn’t like them. At all.
Oven Roasted Beets
I tried for years to like beets, I just never seemed to change my mind. Perhaps it was a fact that they came from a can, and I’m not saying that’s a bad thing. I will say that I have a texture sensativity thing which is an issue for me and some foods that come out of a can just don’t taste right to me. Having all of the butter, sea salt and pepper in the world won’t change my mind. That is not to say that I think canned foods are the enemy. I’m not saying that. The majority of meals we prepare feature fresh, whole food ingredients. Still, I do buy some canned foods, however the stock of them in my cupboards are a few select items that I use to assist me in the making of meals. Most of them end up being pureed before being added and transformed into something else. Again, it’s a texture issue. That, and the fact that as a matter of personal choice, the Mister and I have eliminated certain food ingredients from our food lifestyle on our journey to healthier lives.
Recently, I decided to try beets. Again. The Mister, being the fantastic food prep helper that he is, prepared a medley of beets, onions, parsnips and potatoes. We dressed them with olive oil, seasoned them with sea salt and fresh ground black pepper.
We roasted them.
I love, love, love beets now. This Recipe can be doubled or tripled as desired.
