Grilled Golden Beets
A stunning way to serve your root veggies in the summertime. These grilled golden beets are vibrant, delicious, and make an amazing side at any barbecue or cookout.
Ingredients
- 4 medium golden beets
- 2 tbsp avocado oil
- sprinkle Himalayan pink salt (or sea salt)
Instructions
- Set the grill to MEDIUM heat and thoroughly wash each beet. 2. Cut all but the last 3 inches of the beet off-leave the stocks closest to the beet itself. You can hold onto this portion of the greens while peeling to keep your hands out of the way and clean. Peel the skin off of the beets. Once peeled, cut off the remaining greens. 3. Slice the beets into uniformly sized slices, we did ours about ¼ of an inch thick. Too thin and they might fall apart or slip through the grates on the grill. Too thick and they’ll burn on the outside and may not be cooked through.4. Brush the slices with a bit of avocado oil on both sides and place the beet slices on the grill. 6. Cover and cook about 2 minutes, flip and cook another 2 minutes. They should be almost fork tender when done. 7. Dust with a bit of the salt before serving. These are a great dinner side or brilliant on a fresh green salad the next day.
Notes
- Ensure your golden beetroots are sliced uniformly, about 1/4 inch thick so they cook consistently.
