i have pickled part down,,loooking for somwething entirely different. I have been looking at some over raoster recipes. Ideas?
Carrots and parsnips are a good pairing with beets.
Preheat oven to 400-425*f
5-6 small to medium beets, peeled and wedged
2-3 large carrots, get close to the size of the cut beets
2-3 large parsnips (they roast sweeter than carrots), again about same size cuts
2-3 large toes of garlic, peeled and sliced
Coat all above in 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil set in roasting pan or casserole dish.
salt and pepper...pinch of both
red chili flakes...to taste but I like more, 2 pinches
raw sugar or white sugar and brown sugar blend or a bit less brown sugar...2 teaspoons
anise or fennel seeds can be used if desired and on hand, adds a certain aromatic quality that many appreciate...1 teaspoon or a full pinch
or
caraway seeds could be added (found in some rye bread)...1 teaspoon or a full pinch
Mix the dry seasoning together to create a blend and dust the veg with most of it, reserve a bit to finish at the end.
Roast for 20-25min, add 1/4 cup of red wine vinegar, toss veg, check for texture of veg, season with remainder of blend, roast again for 10min.
Remove to set, 5min covered, then serve.
A touch of room temp sour creme or creme fraiche on the side is a common condiment.
