Baby Purple Beetroot: Sweet, Tender and Versatile!
Baby purple beetroot, often referred to simply as baby beets, is a delightful variation of the classic beetroot. These petite vegetables are known for their vibrant purple hue, sweet flavour and tender texture. Unlike their larger counterparts, baby purple beets are less bitter, making them a more palatable option for those who may be hesitant to try beets. Whether enjoyed raw or cooked, baby purple beets offer a unique and delicious addition to a variety of dishes.
Cooking Suggestions: How to Cook Baby Purple Beetroot?
Roasting in Foil: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and trim the baby purple beets, leaving the skins intact. Place them on a piece of aluminium foil, drizzle with olive oil and add a few cloves of garlic. Wrap the foil around the beets to create a sealed packet and roast for about 30-40 min.
Boiling: Cook in the boiling water for about 20-25 minutes or until they are tender when pierced with a fork. Drain the beets and allow them to cool before peeling off the skins if desired.
Raw: Baby purple beets can be enjoyed raw, thinly sliced or grated and added to salads, slaws or served on canapes.
Serving Suggestions: What to Pair Baby Purple Beetroot with?
Salads: Add roasted or boiled baby purple beets to green salads, grain salads or roasted vegetable salads for a pop of colour and flavour. Their tender texture and sweet flavour complement a variety of greens, nuts, cheeses and dressings, creating a balanced and nutritious dish.
Goat Cheese: Pair roasted baby purple beets with creamy goat cheese, fresh herbs and a drizzle of balsamic reduction for a delicious and elegant appetiser or side dish. The creamy and tangy goat cheese complements the sweet and earthy flavour of the beets, creating a harmonious and decadent combination.
Grains and Proteins: Incorporate cooked baby purple beets into grain bowls, pasta dishes or serve alongside grilled meats or fish. Their sweet and tender texture adds a delightful contrast to hearty grains, proteins and rich sauces, creating a satisfying and flavourful meal.
