Black bowl with mint yogurt topped with roasted beets and chopped mint

Freshly harvested beets rubbed with ground mustard seeds, coconut sugar, and sea salt.  Served with fresh mint yogurt and seasoned lentils.

Beet harvest!  This is the best time of the year.  Better than Christmas!  Local Farmer’s markets are open with a lot of new vendors and delicious treats.  

The farmer’s markets definitely look different this year.  Everyone is wearing a face mask and long lines have been created for social distancing.  Probably one of my favorite discoveries this year was locally made yogurt called Milk Honey Fine Yogurt. I love every single flavor she makes.  Each carton of yogurt comes with a thick layer of cream on top.  It’s like dipping into a bowl of Panna Cotta but much healthier.  Milk Honey’s mint yogurt has an earthy mint flavor that pairs perfectly with sweet roasted beets.  

If you’re not fortunate enough to snag a carton of this amazing yogurt, just chop fresh mint and stir it into plain yogurt with a pinch of salt.  

Roasting the Beets:

  • Wash, peel, and cut the beets.  If your beets are small, just cut them in half.  Quarter the beets if they are large.  Just make sure they are all about the same size so they cook evenly.
  • Arrange on a baking sheet and toss with olive oil.
  • Using a spice grinder or mortar and pestle, grind the mustard seeds and coconut sugar to a coarse powder. 
  • Sprinkle over the beets and roll them around to coat all sides.
  • Sprinkle with salt.  
  • Bake in a preheated 350℉ oven for 35-45 minutes or until the beets are tender and starting to crisp around the edges.

 

Plating and Serving the Roasted Beets:

  • Mix yogurt with a pinch of salt and fresh chopped mint.  Spread half of the yogurt on a serving plate or bowl
  • Arrange roasted beets on top and serve with a side of seasoned lentils.  
  • Sprinkle with sea salt such as Maldon’s.
  • Savor!

      I hope you love this recipe as much as I do. I’m not sure how this gal makes her yogurt. It does have a layer of fat on top which is divine. My guess is she steeps the mint in the milk before making the yogurt. You can probably contact her directly. Her Instagram is milkhoneyyogurt. Let me know if you like the recipe.
