Roasted Sweet Potatoes and Beets


I have been eating extra healthy for awhile now.  I have some allergies and I have to eat well or be miserable.  So, I am going to try to show a few more of my healthier recipes on the blog along with the other more traditional recipes too.  This was my favorite new way to eat sweet potatoes this week.  I haven't really enjoyed beets since I was a child and we had them pickled.  

Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 beets (peeled and chopped)
1 large sweet potato (chopped)

Preheat the oven to 420 degrees.  Combine olive oil and beets in a medium roasting pan.  Bake for 15 minutes in preheated oven.  Mix sweet potatoes with the beets and continue baking 45 minutes, stirring once after 20 minutes.  Cook until all veggies are tender.  I kept the sweet potato's skins on for added fiber and potassium, you could peel them.   I salt them when serving.
 
Enjoy!

This looks wonderful! I love sweet potatoes, and I tried roasting beets for the first time a couple of months ago - they were DELICIOUS! I loved the flavor! I'll have to pair them with sweet potatoes too, that sounds really good! :)

My Hubby loves beets, but I just did not know how to cook them. The recipe looks so good and so few ingredients. I will have to give this a try. Thanks so much.

I can not tell you how much my health improved when I stopped eating preserved food. This looks delish and so much better than those things out of a can. :)

Oh, I hope you don't mind, but I forgot to mention - a drizzle of balsamic vinegar kicks up the flavor.
