Beets Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Roast the Beets

   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and scrub the fresh beets under running water to remove any dirt. Wrap each beet individually in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet. Roast for about 45-60 minutes until tender when pierced with a fork. Let them cool.

2. 2

   Prepare the Tahini Sauce

   While the beets are roasting, prepare the tahini sauce. In a medium bowl, add 1 cup of tahini, 2 minced garlic cloves, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper. Whisk together until smooth and creamy. If the sauce is too thick, add a little water until you reach your desired consistency.

3. 3

   Peel and Slice the Beets

   Once the roasted beets have cooled, unwrap them from the foil. Carefully peel the skins off using your hands or a paper towel. Slice the beets into rounds or wedges, as preferred.

4. 4

   Combine and Serve

   In a serving bowl, arrange the sliced beets. Drizzle the tahini sauce generously over the beets. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before serving for a refreshing cold dish.
