"Many of us who aren't fans of beets wish that we could be. These root veggies are quite affordable, loaded with vitamins, minerals, and fiber, and so versatile. But that doesn't change the fact that they taste like dirt to some people. If you're in that camp, try melting beets - a unique side dish that could convert you into a fan for life."
"Melting beets are stunningly simple, but using a few strategies to up your roasting game or add extra flavor can make them even tastier to the beet-averse. Some vital tips you need for roasting beets include scrubbing them well, coating the slices thoroughly in oil, and flipping them halfway through the cooking time. These tricks help to eliminate any actual dirt on the beets and ensure they turn out perfectly browned and tender."
Melting beets transform beets into a tender side by roasting thick peeled slices, then braising them in stock and balsamic vinegar until meltingly soft. Roasting caramelizes sugars and reduces earthiness. Vinegar and savory stock add acidity and depth while creamy goat cheese balances bittersweet flavors with saltiness. Scrubbing, oil-coating, and flipping slices ensure even browning and tenderness. The method uses affordable root vegetables that provide vitamins, minerals, and fiber, and the technique and toppings help convert beet-averse eaters. The preparation allows herb, spice, and topping variations for repeated experimentation.
