I love beets! This recipe sweetens them up with a bit of sugar and adds just a touch of spices, so the natural flavors really shine through. Beet casserole is the perfect colorful side dish for your vegetarian or vegan Passover or Seder meal.
Ingredients:
- 4 cups sliced fresh beets
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp paprika
- 1 tbsp margarine
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- sliver of fresh ginger
- 1/3 cup water
- 1 tbsp grated onion
Preparation:
Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees.Layer the sliced beets in a lightly oiled 7-inch baking dish and sprinkle with the sugar, salt and paprika. Dot the beets with the margarine, then add the lemon juice, ginger, water and onion.
Cover and bake for 30 minutes or until tender. Remove from the oven once during baking and stir well.
