Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium beetroot
- 1 cup almond flour
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup cream
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 9x9 inch baking dish with parchment paper.
Peel and grate the beetroot using a box grater or a food processor fitted with a grating blade. Place the grated beetroot in a large mixing bowl.
Add the almond flour, eggs, grated cheddar cheese, and parmesan cheese to the bowl with the beetroot. Mix well to combine.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cream, salt, and black pepper. Pour this mixture into the beetroot mixture and stir until fully incorporated.
Add the olive oil and baking powder to the mixture, and gently fold to combine. Ensure that the baking powder is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Chop the fresh thyme finely and add it to the beetroot mixture, stirring gently.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with the back of a spoon or spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the beetroot slice to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Cut into slices and serve warm or cool. Enjoy your flavorful, low-carb beetroot slice!
