Lemon-Herb Roasted Beets

We love how roasting brings out the sweet flavor of beets. Golden beets look especially pretty when tossed with the fresh herb and lemon seasoning mix, but any type of beets will work in this recipe. If you’re a lemon lover, be sure to add the squeeze of fresh lemon juice after the beets are roasted. Posted for my DH -- he loves his beets!

Another nice roasted beets recipe. Watch them closely though, at such a high temperature they go from just browning, to nearly burning quite quickly. I liked the lemon flavour, think I'd add more herbs next time, or make sure the 2 tbsp of fresh herbs is measured after they are minced. I eye balled it and the herbs were a little lost. I like to use roasted beets in salads, so these flavours will be great.Reply
