Spiced Beetroot image

For beetroot lovers! A delicious, very low calorie, VERY low fat (0.1g!) side dish to accompany any main course. I found this recipe in Karen Meyer's 'The Artful Vegetarian' and I have adapted it slightly in posting it for the Healthy for the Holidays Challenge.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 beetroots
1 pinch ground cayenne pepper
1 pinch ground paprika
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 teaspoons honey
1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
Greek yogurt, to serve (optional)

Steps:

  • Place the unpeeled beetroots on a baking tray and bake in a moderate oven for 1 hour, or until tender when pierced with a skewer.
  • Cool the beetroots until they are cool enough to handle, and wear gloves if you don't want to end up with beetroot-coloured hands! Peel and dice the beetroots. (see Note).
  • Combine the diced beetroot with the remaining ingredients in a pan over a gentle heat, and toss for 4-5 minutes, or until heated through; and serve with a dollop of Greek yoghurt (optional).
  • NOTE: If you'd like an easy recipe for making your own vegetable stock - my Vegetable Stock Recipe #135453 - start by saving the peel from the beetroots!
