A Flavor All Their Own
Beets are one of the most underappreciated root veggies. They’re often overlooked because of their bitter, earthy flavor but if you ask us that’s what makes them so special. They come alive when paired with bright, tangy flavors — or when roasted in the oven until tender and subtly sweet. You can peel and juice them (cocktails, anyone?) or turn them into a the prettiest plate of hummus. Still not sure? These recipes are sure to make you a believer. Take this pasta salad, for example. It makes the most of some of our favorite farmers market finds (beets, radishes and radicchio) and turns them into a hearty plate that’s as good to look at as it is to eat!
