You can even use this puree in baked goods, like cookies, or pancakes, to bump up the nutrition. Add it to vege burgers. It makes a beautiful garnish on your plates for an elegant finish and is a super healthy food, as well!
Beets can be roasted in the oven, for extra depth of flavor, but the color will not be as pretty! Roast at 350°F for about 40 minutes, turning occasionally.
