We are open 7 days a week, 7am to 9pm (Fri & Sat to 10pm)
We are coming to the end of beet season but we still have a delicious selection of red or golden beets. The golden beets are sweeter than the red ones. They both have delicious flavor. Many people say "they taste like dirt" but not our beets. They are yummy! Here are three ways to try out beets, red or golden.
Beet Fries
I don't know why I never thought of this but they are excellent cooked in the oven. Peel and cut the beets in half and then cut in 1/2" strips. (wear gloves to keep from staining your fingers). Then toss in bowl with 1 Tablespoon oil, salt and pepper to coat the beets. Put parchment or foil down on your cookie sheet. Then spread out the beets and bake for 20-30 minutes at 425 or until tender.
Grilled Beets
We are enjoying the weather and are grilling like crazy right now. Why not throw the beets on the grill?
Wash and peel beets and then dice. Toss the beets in a bowl with 1 Tablespoon oil, 2 teaspoons Italian seasonings, salt and pepper. Place the beets on foil and create a "pocket" with the foil. Place the packet on the grill for 35-50 minutes (depending on size of beets and heat of grill). They are done when tender. To serve, add some crumbled feta on top.
Another delicious recipe is this salad using many of our fresh vegetables that are available. Check it out:
