Even though I love beets of all sizes, shapes and colors, golden beets just seem the most special to me! Maybe because they don’t make my hands all purple and pink. Maybe it’s because they seem regal in their goldness. Or maybe it’s because they seem more unusual, as I had never seen them growing up. I had only watched the older generation eat cold, pickled pink beets which just seemed weird then and not appetizing at all. (Now, I love those too!) Golden beets seem like the royal, bejeweled queens of the beet world but I know I shouldn’t discriminate—they’re all good, nutritious and beautiful! Beets are high in fiber, folate, potassium, manganese and vitamin C and also supply iron, phosphorus and copper. In the past, I’ve always boiled beets of every and all colors, then cooled them and peeled them. When a friend of mine heard that I had never roasted them, she was aghast and shocked! “Never?! Well, roasting them is BEST way to cook them for so much more flavor!!” - See more at: http://veganamericanprincess.com/roasting-golden-beets-simple-delicious-recipe/#sthash.SDwlExYf.dpuf
