After the success of these baked beet chips, I'm have a new delicious recipe for you: roasted beets. They are a delight and above all very easy to make: peel and cut your beetroot and put it in the oven for 40 minutes with a little olive oil and that's it!
I love to serve these roasted beets with fresh goat cheese, but they are also delicious with feta cheese and of course with our queso fresco. They are amazing while still warm, as well as cold. They can be refrigerated for a few days and are perfect for those hot days in which you don't want to cook.

I like to serve them as an appetizer or side dish. They are perfect for picnics and also for family feasts in the patio when we BBQ. If you get yellow beets, bake them on separate trays to enjoy the beautiful color contrast.
One last thing: if you manage to get your kids to eat them, give me the secret because mine still refuse! They don't know what they are missing!
