I have met tons of people that I have cooked for who absolutely hate beets until I cook them for them. Beets are hated because the majority of time they are not cooked correctly. If I had to convert you to being a beet lover, I would make you these balsamic roasted beets.
Key Ingredients & Substitutions:
- Beets – Golden beets are my favorite beet, they have a less earthy flavor then red beets which is a good way to like beets. But you can use any beet here.
- Balsamic Glaze – Use an aged balsamic glaze for the best flavor.
- Chopped Hazelnuts – I like these to add a nice texture and flavor. However, you can use any nut of choice.
- Maldon Sea Salt – This is a perfect finishing salt because of the interesting texture and crunch it adds, but you can use any salt here.
