ROASTED BEETS WITH CHILES, GINGER, YOGURT AND INDIAN SPICES
The pungent spices, zingy fresh ginger, dollops of tangy yogurt and fiery green chiles found in Indian cuisine tame the sugary beets in this recipe and open up a whole new universe of flavor. In traditional Indian cooking, beets are usually boiled or steamed, then often made into vegetable curries or chutney. But here they are roasted, which intensifies their sweetness.

Tips:
- Choose the right beets: For the best results, select beets that are small to medium in size and have a deep red color. Avoid beets that are too large, as they may be woody and less flavorful.
- Trim and prepare the beets: Cut off the tops and bottoms of the beets, and then scrub them clean. If the beets are large, you can cut them into quarters or wedges.
- Use a variety of spices: The spices used in this recipe are just a starting point. Feel free to experiment with other spices that you enjoy, such as cumin, coriander, or smoked paprika.
- Don't overcook the beets: Beets should be roasted until they are tender but still have a slight bite to them. Overcooked beets will be mushy and less flavorful.
- Serve the beets warm or cold: Spiced baked beets can be served warm as a side dish or main course, or they can be chilled and served as a salad.

Spiced baked beets are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. They are a good source of vitamins and minerals, and they are also a low-calorie food. Whether you are looking for a healthy side dish or a flavorful main course, spiced baked beets are a great option.
