I'll eat beets on occasion. There's a local restaurant we often go to - Joe's Farm Grill - where you can substitute beet salad for fries, and since I'm looking to cut calories wherever possible that's what I do, but I've never said to myself, "I could really go for some beets right now".
Before leaving this morning I scrubbed two beets, tossed them in a dark covered pot, and set it in the Sun Oven. In the past, out of habit, I would wrap them in tin foil first, but today I discovered that they come out even better without it. When I got home I took them out of the Sun Oven and when they were cool enough to handle I peeled them, chopped them up, and drizzled a little olive oil over them. They were so tasty I just may find myself craving more some day.
Beets are one of my favorite vegetables and I will eat them pickled, Harvard, sliced with butter, any way you can throw them at me. I love how the solar oven handles root vegetables...thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI love roasted beets and they come out lovely in the solar oven. Very tasty served cold in slices dressed with horseradish, mayo, and salt.
ReplyDeleteI did this by accident. I don.t know why but I put them on the windowsill out of ambivalence and 4 days later, they are very soft. It.s Oct in milw.
