Tips:

  • Choose the right beets: Look for beets that are small to medium in size, with smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid beets that are too large, as they may be woody and less flavorful.
  • Roast the beets whole: Roasting the beets whole helps them retain their natural sweetness and moisture. Simply scrub the beets clean, trim the tops and roots, and drizzle with olive oil and salt. Roast at 425°F for about an hour, or until the beets are tender when pierced with a fork.
  • Use a variety of spices: Moroccan spices like cumin, coriander, and paprika add a warm, earthy flavor to the beets. You can also add other spices like cinnamon, ginger, or nutmeg to taste.
  • Serve the beets warm or cold: Roasted beets can be served warm or cold. If you're serving them warm, drizzle them with a balsamic reduction or a honey-Dijon dressing. If you're serving them cold, toss them in a simple vinaigrette or lemon-herb dressing.

Conclusion:

Roasted beets with Moroccan spices are a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed all year round. They're perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. With their vibrant color and earthy flavor, roasted beets are sure to impress your guests. So next time you're looking for a new way to enjoy beets, give this recipe a try.
