You may be surprised how much you like grilled beets, even if you’ve never had a beet before. Not only do they add color and flavor to your next BBQ, but they are also super nutritious.
Beets are root vegetables, like potatoes, and are grilled using a similar technique. They have a lot of natural sugar, which caramelizes beautifully on the grill.
Try serving these hot off the grill sprinkled with crumbled goat cheese and chopped fresh herbs, or with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar.
Slice the beets and toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Grill the beets, turning them often, until you can easily pierce them with a fork.
Grill the beets, turning them every 10 minutes, until they are fork tender.
