How to Cook the Golden Beets:
This roasted golden beets recipe is super easy and only takes a few steps!
Prep the beets and give them a good scrub before peeling. If preferred, you can leave the peel on. Chop the beets into 1-2" cubes.
Mix the beets with the olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl.
Next, transfer the beet mixture to a parchment or foil-lined baking sheet and spread evenly.
Bake at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for at least 35 minutes or until fork-tender (the beets will be soft enough to pierce with a fork).
Once the golden beets are ready, set them on a platter or dish and sprinkle with the lemon juice, zest, goat cheese, fresh herbs, and greens. Serve as a tasty side or on top of a salad!
How to Store Yellow Beets:
Refrigerate cooked beets in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Freeze for several months in an airtight container or freezer-safe storage bag. Excess beets? Make them into a pesto!
Variations:
Out of golden beets? Use the gorgeous red or purple beets!
Not a fan of beets? Try delicious carrots, parsnips, or baby potatoes!
Make sure to cook long enough until fork-tender. Cooking times will vary based on the vegetable.
To make vegan: Substitute the goat cheese for dairy-free cheese crumbles.
This recipe is also naturally gluten-free!
Have a nut allergy, please use caution. If you can tolerate seeds, try pumpkin seeds or hemp seeds in place of the walnuts, and please seek advice from your medical professional or allergist if you have questions.
