Healthy and Tasty!
The star of this simple recipe is beets. They aren’t just tasty they’re also really good for you! The intense ruby red with a hint of magenta color of beets (looks like Alizarin Crimson paint to me!) is due to their pigments called betalain which is anti-inflammatory. Beets also contain nitrates which is converted into nitric oxide (NO). Nitric oxide is great for cardiovascular function. Long story short, beets can be helpful in reducing blood pressure and atherosclerosis, reducing the risk of diabetes, dementia, among others.
Start by Roasting the Beets
Peel the beet or beets. We’re going to need about a cup cubed. So just peel them and then cut them into quarters. Slice a few shallots into sections about a half-inch thick or use onions if you don’t have shallots on hand. And peel two to three cloves of garlic.
Place the beets, shallots (or onions), and garlic in a small-ish or medium-sized baking dish, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle on the salt, pepper, and rosemary. Bake at 350 degrees F for about 30 minutes, until the beets are tender.
When finished baking, let everything cool down just a bit and then scoop everything into a high-powered blender. Add the plant-based milk and puree until smooth and creamy. Add more or less milk if needed for the right consistency.
This is delicious as the sauce on a spring flavors pizza! It would also be good in a pasta dish!
