Colorful Roasted Beets Purple Potatoes Recipes

COLORFUL ROASTED BEETS & PURPLE POTATOES

Steps:

• Wash the beets and potatoes, and cut the potatoes into quarters or thirds, but don't make the pieces too big.
• Peel the beets and cut into slices or chunks.
• Put the cut beets and potatoes into a large zipper bag with the olive oil and seasonings (the ones I listed or another kind you like) and leave some air in there, zip it, and vigorously shake until all the pieces are evenly coated with oil and herbs.
• Lay the pieces out into a large baking dish (like 9 x 13) so most of them lay flat. Bake at 425F for 50 minutes.
• Putting a foil vent over the baking dish might speed it up but I haven't tried it yet. But I like to bake for 50 then put the broiler on for 5 minutes so the potatoes crisp up nicely.

ROASTED BEETS AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Place beets in a large pot filled with salted water. Bring to a boil, and immediately reduce to a simmer, cook about 50 minutes.
• Meanwhile, fill another large pot with water and bring to a boil. Add salt, return to a boil and add potatoes. Cook for 10 minutes and drain immediately.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Drain beets and peel immediately. Cut each beet in half and add to a large bowl along with potatoes, garlic, thyme, vinegar and olive oil; toss to combine.
• Place beets and potatoes in a large roasting pan; transfer to oven and cook until golden and tender, about 45 minutes. Serve immediately.
