Notes

• Save the beet ends, peels, and greens in a freezer bag to use for a homemade vegetable stock later.

• Substitute feta for goat cheese if you prefer.

• Serve these beets as a hearty holiday side dish. They pair well with roasted chicken, pork, or beef.

• Enjoy leftover beets reheated or use chilled beets for a delicious salad of arugula, goat cheese, hazelnuts or Marcona almonds, and balsamic vinaigrette.
