I’ll admit, up until a couple of years ago I did not like beets. Whenever I tried them, I thought they tasted like dirt. I’ve since decided that the reason for this is that I was eating, well, dirt. But then I tried roasted (dirtless) beets, and I loved them! The key is peeling the beets rather than just scrubbing them, apparently. And roasting them really brings out their natural sweetness and gives them a nice soft texture. Mmmmm……
