1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon cumin seeds, toasted and lightly crushed

Overall, I thought this recipe was just okay. I probably won't make it again.

I followed the recipe exactly and my beets were still a bit too hard. I'll have to try roasting them for longer next time.

I found that the cumin and mint were a bit too overpowering for my taste.

I'm not sure I did something wrong, but my beets didn't turn out as tender as I would have liked.

I roasted the beets for a little longer than the recipe called for and they were even more caramelized and delicious.

I'm not a fan of cumin, so I used a different spice blend. The beets still turned out great!

I added a bit of honey to the roasting pan and the beets came out with a delicious glaze.
