Stacey Hawkins, the Queen of Lean and Green Recipes makes Lemony Roasted Beets. This low-carb recipe is an Optavia Recipe, Optavia 5 and 1 recipe and complies with most low carb diets. Eat great and lose the weight!
I love red beets. Maybe it's my Russian heritage or maybe it's just because I truly LOVE things that are loaded with flavor, color and natural sweetness. Either way, beets are a truly great addition to any diet as they are delicious, easy to prepare and really, really good for you! Not to mention, they look gorgeous on the plate!
Once the beets are roasted, they can be used in many ways. In this recipe, I combine them with fresh lemon and feta cheese for a stand-alone side dish served warm or chilled. Leftovers can be used on greens (as above) to make a salad and pair well with nuts, grilled chicken or other proteins. Roast a batch of beets today and enjoy them all week!
It should be noted that red beets ARE high in natural sugars and do not lend themselves well to a carb-restricted diet. Once you have transitioned, however, they make a fabulous, high quality addition to any meal program. In the image below, they are served as a side dish with our Juicy Mediterranean Salmonrecipe.
There are so many fun recipes to try. I love eating healthy and trying new recipes. And the spices are the best I've ever tasted. Love all of them that I have tried. I will be reordering.
