Roasted Beets with Feta and Basil by

Tags: beet, basil

Ingredients

Veggie Box beets
2 tablespoons Veggie Box basil, cut into thin strips
1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, divided
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Scrub beets well and
dry, then coat each with a little olive oil. Place in an
ovenproof pan, cover with foil and roast for 40-45
minutes, or until the beets are tender (a knife should
easily go into the beets). Remove the beets from the
oven and set aside until they are cool enough to
handle. Remove the skin from the cooled beets and
cut into bite sized pieces. Place the cut beets back in
the pan and toss with 2 tablespoons each of balsamic
vinegar and olive oil. Roast for an additional 10
minutes. Place the cooked beets in a large bowl. Add
the basil with the remaining 1 tablespoon each of
balsamic and olive oil and mix well. Add feta cheese
and toss gently, then season to taste with salt and
pepper. Serve immediately or cover and chill in the
refrigerator until ready to use.
