A toast recipe to “beet” the rest!
Use this delicious beet toast recipe for a delicious, fresh-tasting breakfast or prepare a few slices to be a side dish at dinner!
Ingredients:
- Just 1 Beet (roasted, boiled, or canned)
- Two slices of your favorite healthy bread
- 1-2 tbsp vinegar (apple cider, sherry, red wine, etc)
- 1-2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp of cream cheese (cashew cream cheese if you want to be a bit healthier)
- ½ tbsp fresh chopped chives
- Salt and pepper
- Other spices to taste
- Optional: 1 drop Turmeric or Vetiver oil
Instructions:
- Prepare your beets.
- Cooking: You’ll get the best, deepest flavor and the most nutrients by using a roasted beet. Second-best flavor and nutrient profile by boiling. And the third-best option is canned beets, but if you like the extra acidity of canned beets go for it!
- Slicing: Slice your beet into pieces that will fit on your toast. We prefer slightly thicker slices (especially when the beets are roasted!) but slice the size you want.
- Mix your tablespoon of vinegar and olive oil together. Add just a bit of salt and pepper to the mix. Add your one drop of either Turmeric or Vetiver essential oil to this mixture, stirring it in thoroughly.
- Toast your bread.
- Spread your cream cheese on the bread.
- Toss your beet slices in the vinegar-oil mixture. And then add to the toast.
- Sprinkle your fresh chopped chives on top.
- Salt to taste and add any other spices you want (toasted sesame seeds, cumin, garlic or onion powder, oregano, etc)
- Enjoy!
