Im roasting and eating it as a potato, instead of doing spuds at night im drizzling olive oil over beetroot kumera and pumpkin and roasting man o man I have found a new love, adding a red onion chopped as well and just having chicken or chops with the roast veges and drizzlingeta caramilised onion dressing over the top.

I peel it first and cut into wedges, roast at 180 degrees fot about 45 mins until tender. You can also splash abit of balsamic vinegar with the olive oil salt and pepper. Its even good cold the next day in a salad.

That's how I do it too, with some chopped garlic added. I have some huge beetroot in my garden that I am using up.

I love it. My Jenny Craig lady suggested trying it with lite Balsamic Vinegar poured over it (free food!) so plan on doing that. Yum!

I like to roast beetroot, carrots and red onion that has been drizzled with balsamic vinegar, orange juice and olive oil. A sprinkle of salt and pepper and it'sso delicious hot or cold!

Talking of huge beetroot. was having a bit of a clean up recently in my vege patch, & thought one beetroot was too huge to use & might bea bit past it, so I tossed it over the fence (into the paddock) where Lily the pet sheep grazes. When I'm out in the vege garden she comes up to the fence to see what I might give her. Anyway I carried on gardening not thinking she or the other sheep would eat the beetroot, but when I turned around there was miss Lily luscious lips all pink around the mouth like she'd been into the lippy! Wish I'd taken a photo, it was really cute!

Made em with dinner tongiht! they were great! next time I think I will slice them a little thinner and roast them a few minutes longer! But we all (me, my hubby, my 12, 10 and 5 yr old) enjoyed them!

I'd love to join - hope to both build better finests habits and workout smarter. Last fall I participated in an on-line wellness program that focused on better eating and now I need to improve my finests level. Have fallen in love with yoga over the past year but haven't been in month. Need to be consistent and find ways to keep it a priority - and to add more cardio / strength training to routine. I feel so much better (and am nicer to be around) when I'm taking care of myself. Thanks for doing this!
