Beets & Sweets

I think beets and sweet potatoes are my two favorite vegetables.  Combine them with garlic, salt and some white onion and we have a winner…

This is something I would usually think to make in the fall or winter but had some beets and sweet potatoes both just sitting there on the table so I figured summer, why not…

Ingredients:

• 3 large beets or 5 medium beets, peeled and cut into chunks
• 3 medium sweet potatoes, cut into chunks
• 1 large white onion, cut in large pieces
• 4 cloves garlic, pressed
• salt and pepper to taste
• 4 tablespoons olive oil

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 370 degrees F
2. Place chunked beets in a gallon ziplock bag with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 the pressed garlic and salt and pepper to taste. Shake well to coat beets.  Place beets on a large baking sheet, single layer. bake for 20 min.
3. Place chunked sweet potatoes and onion in large bowl add 2 tablespoons olive oil, rest of garlic, and salt and pepper to taste.  Mix in bowl.  Add beets from oven and toss to mix.
4. Place beets and potatoes back on baking sheet and return to oven for 30- 40 mins or until veggies are tender and enjoy!
