Middle Eastern Roasted Beets

8 ingredients
5 steps

Ingredients

  • 1 bunch beets, trimmed (about 5-6 medium beets)
  • olive oil
  • course sea salt
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh mint
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese (I prefer sheep/goat milk feta, but cow milk feta is fine)
  • 2 teaspoons minced preserved lemon rind (or substitute lemon zest)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon pomegranate molasses

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 400°F. Rub the beets all over with olive oil and sprinkle generously with salt. Wrap in foil and place in the oven. Roast for 1 hour.
  2. 2
    Remove the beets from the oven and allow them to cool a bit. Under cold running water in the sink, rub the skins off. Pat dry and chop the beets into bite-sized pieces.
  3. 3
    In a medium bowl, mix the chopped beets with the mint and the feta.
  4. 4
    Add the preserved lemon rind, the olive oil, and the pomegranate molasses. Mix well to combine.
  5. 5
    Garnish with additional fresh mint, if desired.
