  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) fresh parsley

  • 1/4 cup (60 mL) fresh basil

  • 1/4 cup (125 mL) fresh cilantro

  • 4 tsp (20 mL) minced fresh jalapeño pepper

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tsp (5 mL) lime zest

  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) lime juice

  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) red wine vinegar

  • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) dried oregano

How To Make It

1

Hasselback Beets: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

2

Without cutting all the way through to the bottom, cut crosswise slits into each beet, about 1/8 inch (3 mm) apart, taking care to keep beets intact (this will create the hasselback effect as the beets bake).

3

Arrange beets on parchment paper–lined baking sheet. Brush beets with melted butter, making sure to brush between slits. Season with salt and pepper.

4

Bake for 55 to 65 minutes or until beets are tender.

5

Chimichurri Sour Cream: Meanwhile, in small food processor, pulse together sour cream, parsley, basil, cilantro, jalapeño, garlic, lime zest, lime juice, vinegar, oregano, salt and pepper until finely chopped and vibrant green. Refrigerate until ready to use.

6

Serve roasted beets with chimichurri sour cream and garnish with microgreens.

7

Use a medley of red, yellow and candy cane beets for a colourful presentation if desired.
