Edible parts
Roots
Recipe idea for your ‘Babybeat’ beetroot harvest. Roast the root vegetables in uniform pieces. Brush the roots under water, remove the ends, and only peel them if their skin requires it. Cut larger pieces into quarters to match their cooking time with smaller pieces. Toss with a drizzle of oil, thyme, and a pinch of salt. Spread on a baking sheet without overlapping the vegetables, then bake at 200 °C (392 °F), turning halfway through. Check for tenderness with the tip of a knife. Finish with a little lemon juice or apple cider vinegar and serve with a cooked grain. Keep the colours separated on the baking sheet if you wish to preserve their contrast when serving. Small roots can remain whole if they are of a comparable size. Thicker skin should be removed before cooking, while clean, young skin can remain on the vegetable.
