Hey there,
I’ve never disliked beets, however, the moment I tried roasted beets for the first time I quickly grew to absolutely love them. You might have even read this story before, if you’ve been following me for a while.
My love for roasted beets dates back to my exchange in down under.
So a few years ago, in fact it’s been almost 6 years I went on exchange to Australia, where I stayed with three wonderful host families. They were all super different but they each had one thing in common. Whenever they roasted veggies beetroot was one of those roasted veggies.
Horseradish and beets = a macth made in heaven.
Beets turn incredibly delicious by roasting them, slightly sweet yet savoury, just delicious. Just make sure to roast them long enough at a rather hot temperature to get them to the perfect texture.
In today’s recipe I cut my favourite purple root veggie into sticks and roasted with thyme. I then made a delicious dip, which I flavoured with horseradish, which in fact pairs incredibly well with beet root.
- 3 small beets, cut into sticks
- 1 tbs olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- a few sprigs of fresh thyme
- For the horseradish dip:
- 150g cooked white beans
- 3 tbs soy yogurt
- 1 tbs tahini
- 1 lemon, zest
- 1 tbs lemon juice
- 2cm fresh horseradish, peeled and roughly chopped
- ½ tsp salt
- Preheat oven to 220°C. Place beet and carrot sticks on a lined baking sheet and add olive oil, salt and thyme. Make sure all of the beet sticks are covered in olive oil and salt. Bake for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile add all of the ingredients for the horseradish dip into a blender and blend until smooth. Serve the dip alongside the veggie chips.
Bisous,

I LOVE LOVE LOVE beet chips. They are so tasty with hummus! I love how vibrant they are, as they are shaped as wedges instead of slices! I definitely have to try that white bean horseradish dip as well!
