Spicy Roasted Beets with Paprika Tzatziki


My first time making beets! *proudly pats back*  Beets have such a unique, sweet flavor that seasonings aren't even really necessary. But, being the indian I am, I had to season them into submission (didn't really make a big difference in the end). Ok, but really, my favorite part of this recipe was the paprika tzatziki (yoghurt dip).

Level: Sups easy.
Taste: I love it; you have to like beets to love this.

Ingredients:

  • 5 small to medium sized beets
  • 1/3 tsp Garlic Salt
  • 1 tsp Paprika
  • 1 tsp Cumin powder
  • 1 tsp Cayenne powder
  • Salt & Pepper to taste
  • 2-4 tablespoons of olive oil

Paprika Yoghurt Dip
  • 1/2 cup yoghurt
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1/4 tsp olive oil

1) Set the oven to 350 degree. Cut up the beets into small cubes and spread out onto a foil-covered baking sheet. Cover in olive oil and all of the seasonings. Use your hands to mix the beets with the oil and seasonings until all pieces are generously coated in oil.

2) Put the beets on the baking sheet into the oven for 30-40 min. When they feel tender and look "roasted", they're done!

3) Mix the yoghurt with the paprika, salt, pepper, and olive oil and use as a dip for the beets. So good!
