Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized beets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash the beets thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt. Peel the beets using a vegetable peeler.
Grate the peeled beets using a box grater or a food processor with a grating attachment.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is heated, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the grated beets to the skillet and sprinkle with salt and ground black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Cook the beets over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 8-10 minutes or until they are tender but still slightly firm to the bite.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the lemon juice for a bright, tangy finish.
Transfer the sautéed beets to a serving dish and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve warm as a side dish or as part of a main meal. Enjoy!
