For the longest time, I really only ate beet noodles with goat cheese and toasted nuts. I just didn’t know what else I could do with them.
Since they’re messy, they can get ugly pretty quickly, so they’re tough to toss in a dish.
BUT, I didn’t want to wrap them in foil and wait 45 minutes for them to roast – I wanted a quick and easy way to prepare them as a side.
And thus, this recipe was born – it’s going to become your easy, go-to spiralized beet side dish. It literally goes with everything.
If you want to make this into something more substantial (like a full blown meal), you could toss in some quinoa, finely chopped spinach, and some cheese, toasted nuts, or roasted veggies, just use a little extra dressing (so maybe double the dressing when you make this dish.)
And don’t be intimidated by spiralizing beets – just wear gloves OR immediately wash your hands with soap and water after spiralizing (and your Inspiralizer). I like to take it a step further and also scrub my hands with warm water and table salt – that seems to help get some little stains out too.
However you enjoy these beets, I hope you do!
