Roasted Beets and Potatoes

If you remember from my post about my first farmer’s market, a cute old farmer talked me into buying some of his beets, a veggie I’ve been able to avoid until now. The beets sat in my fridge for almost two weeks while I decided what I was going to do with them (I may have been waiting for them to go bad so I didn’t have to eat them, it’s hard to know). I finally decided to roast them. Roasting makes everything delicious, right? I figured I couldn’t go wrong.

And I was right.

I roasted them with the yellow potatoes I bought from the same farmer, a red onion, and some garlic, and the mixture was as tasty as it was beautiful. I topped it all off with some feta cheese (my favorite). We were all happy with the result, even my husband, who looked at his first fork full and said, “I’m a little scared.” Hee, hee…I was, too, but the beets were yummy! Thanks, cute old farmer!
