These Roasted Beets and Rutabagas are colorful, full of flavor and easy to prepare. Both caramelize in roasting, and the beets take on that slightly smoky tartness unique to them. The rutabagas lose much of their strong, rooty flavor and become sweet and savory. Great as a side dish or salad topper, and so easy to peel, slice, season and bake!
Because the betaine hydrochloric acid is corrosive to metals, be sure to wash your knives right after slicing the beets! Though it's a tiny amount, it adds up over time and can dull the blades.
