Oven Baked Beetroots

I like the sweet taste of Beetroot. I love the Beetroot Thoran which my Mom used to make when I was a kid. I also love Beetroot Pickles which were served for Kerala Syrian Christian Weddings.

For the Health Freaks, here is a simple recipe for Baked Beetroots. Beetroot is healthy and contains lot of vitamins and minerals but some doctors warn people who have high Blood Sugar levels from eating it.

2. Chopped Garlic – 3 cloves
3. Lemon Juice – 1/2 tsp
4. Salt – As required

Preparation Method

1. Pre-heat oven to 400 F.
2. Wash the beetroot and peel the skin. Slice it into thin pieces.
3. Crush the garlic pods and mix with the beetroot pieces.
4. Rub salt, pepper, lemon juice and olive oil on the beetroot pieces and place on a baking tray.
