It’s easy to let yourself sink a boring-side-maker when it comes to dinner. The “main” entree is supposed to get all of the effort right? Wrong! These Rosemary Roasted Beets will both surprise and delight at dinner.
To add extra color to the side dish, I used both red beets and golden beets. You could try only red beets or get a bunch of mixed beets.
As someone with immune issues, I look for as many ways as possible to boost my immunity. I use essential oils daily to give my body antioxidants, but I also like to add vitamin C to diet with beets and oranges.
Beets have been shown to help lower blood pressure, boost stamina, fight inflammation, and are full of detoxification properties. Since they can help to purify your blood and your liver, you’ll even find them throughout the meal plan within my Detox Your Body program.
Seriously look at how pretty this looks before we put it in the oven! This versatile roasted beets side dish is perfect for the holidays or just your typical Tuesday night.
We enjoyed these roasted beets with a pesto chicken. It would also blend well with red meat, pork, fish, or a lentil dish depending on your protein preference.
