Roasted Golden and Purple Beetroot Fries

Serves 4

Even if you aren’t a huge beet fan, you won’t be able to resist these crispy beetroot fries.  Beets are so ridiculously good for us, they’re packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, are anti-inflammatory and help purify our blood and detoxify cancer-causing poisons.  We should all be eating this root veggie regularly and this recipe couldn’t be easier or more delicious!

Ingredients:

  • 6 (3 golden and 3 purple) Beets
  • 2 tablespoons Coconut Oil
  • 2 tablespoons chopped Parsley
  • Salt and Pepper

Preparation:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Melt coconut oil in saucepan.
  • Wash and cut each beet into long rectangular pieces. (You don’t have to peel; the skin has lots of good stuff like fiber).
  • Toss the beets with coconut oil in a bowl and then spread on baking sheet.
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • Roast for about 15 minutes, check and then toss beets on the baking sheet and cook for another 15 minutes.  Beets should be slightly brown when done.
  • Sprinkle with parsley and enjoy!
