Baked Beets and Sweets

It's time for a new recipe! Jack Simpson garden has some great looking beets out right now, so we thought this recipe would be appropriate for our gardeners. This months recipe features delicious beets and sweet potato and has been adapted from a wonderful vegan recipe book, vegan for a vengeance. Beets are a great source of vitamin B, folate, and potassium. Sweet potatoes are full of anti-oxidants, vitamin A, and high in vitamin C.

Baked Beets and Sweets

6 peeled and chopped beets (save the tops for later - you can cook them just like you cook your chard)
2 sweet potatoes- peeled if that's your thing, and chopped
1 medium onion chopped
2 tbsp of olive oil
1 tsp of sea salt
1 tsp brown sugar
Black Pepper to taste

Pre-heat your oven to 400. Combine beets, onions, and sweet potatoes into a large bowl. Pour olive oil over and mix with vegetables, do the same with sugar, salt, and black pepper. Place in oven and cook until soft. Enjoy!
