The BA’s Beet Towers Recipe starts with, my friend Jonah Jay Jenkins roasted beet recipe. It’s unbelievably easy. I use both purple and gold organic beets. I love the color and I just think organic beets taste AMAZINGLY better than everything else!
don’t peel them, just wash them and chop off the stem/greens. You can use the stem and greens later for smoothies, or sautéed with olive oil and garlic!
rub each beet with olive oil
bake them whole in the oven (350- 375) for about an hour
when a fork can be pushed in with little resistance they are done.
I will take that as five stars. Super easy to make, hearty and flavorful. I will for sure be making this again.
BA Notes, before starting
I cooked the brussel sprouts, sweet potatoes and carrots separately but I don’t see why you couldn’t throw them all in. I just choose not too because I’m not a fan over overcooked veggies and I like to give the dish a more complex flavor by seasoning them differently. Also,this was my first time cooking a roast like this in a crock pot. I cooked it for 8 hours on low, it could have cooked another two with no problem. So next time, I will put it in over night and let it cook.
Well, I wish I could tell you what type of meat I used but, I can’t. It was a really lean, inexpensive piece, so I might say a top round. In the end I guess it doesn’t matter and you can use whatever you like. This is what you will need to cook the beef in the crock pot;
Hunk of meat (I used about a 3lb piece),
1 packet of dry onion soup mix,
2 small sweet onions,
two cans of mushroom soup (I used low sodium),
minced garlic,
olive oil, parsley, black pepper and red wine.
♦◊♦ I will say, my next time I will also be adding portobello mushrooms.
Jonah J. Jenkins Roasted Beet Recipe to the rescue! I’ve been reading about beets lately and it seems I should table my dislike and figure out how to like them. As I suspected, garden beets taste DRASTICALLY different than you can crap you buy at the grocery store. I hit my peeps up on fb for their fave recipe. Mr. Jonah J. Jenkins for the grand slam!!! It sure is great to have friends that cook and can inspire you!!
Jonah J. Jenkins came through with the grand slam with this easy 2 step roasted beet recipe :
Do not peel them. Wash the beets and chop off the stem/greens. You can use those later for smoothies, or sautéed with olive oil and garlic!
Rub each beet with olive oil
Bake them whole in the oven (350-375) for about an hour
Using a fork, when you are able to push into the beets, with little resistance, they are done. Let the beets cool, slice them into bite sized chunks and put them into a Tupperware container, to enjoy when you are ready. You can also freeze them for a later time.
**** I did try freezing them. I thawed my Jonah beets, tossed them with walnuts, balsamic vinaigrette and added some chevre! Oh my gosh, so tasty and that led to my Beet Tower recipe! Check out my blog; BA’s BEET TOWERS
