Cylinder beets are super-easy to peel and process because of their cylinder shape. They would make excellent salsa!
4 medium beets
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper
2 teaspoons shallots, finely diced
2 teaspoons fresh ginger, grated
To roast beets, preheat oven to 375 degrees. Trim tops off beets, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Wrap them in aluminum foil (or put in small roasting pan with lid) and roast until tender, about 40-50 minutes. When cool enough, peel and dice the beets.
While beets are roasting, place the shallot, ginger, and olive oil in a small bowl and stir to combine.
Combine salsa and peeled/diced beets, stirring gently. Taste for seasoning.
Great served with fish, or eat alone as a salad!
