Delight in the earthy sweetness of roasted Hasselback beets paired with a refreshing, creamy fresh dill dressing. This easy-to-make recipe brings out the natural flavors of beets, enhanced by a tangy Greek yogurt sauce with lemon, honey, and garlic, perfect as a vibrant side dish or a healthy appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale

Beets

  • 4 medium-sized beets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh Dill Dressing

  • 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 clove garlic, minced

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect roasting temperature.
  2. Prepare Beets: Peel the beets and make thin slices about a quarter-inch apart, stopping before cutting all the way through to keep the beet intact. Using chopsticks on both sides helps prevent slicing through the bottom.
  3. Season Beets: Arrange the beets on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper evenly for enhanced flavor during roasting.
  4. Roast Beets: Roast the beets in the oven for 50-60 minutes until tender in the center and slightly crispy on the edges, which intensifies their natural sweetness.
  5. Make Dill Dressing: While roasting, combine the chopped fresh dill, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, honey, and minced garlic in a small bowl. Stir thoroughly to blend all flavors.
  6. Serve: Once roasted, allow the beets to cool slightly. Drizzle the fresh dill dressing generously over the beets before serving to add a creamy, zesty contrast.

Notes

  • Use fresh, firm beets for the best texture and flavor.
  • Ensure not to cut all the way through the beet when slicing; the chopstick trick helps maintain the hasselback shape.
  • The roasted beets can be served warm or at room temperature.
  • For a vegan option, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt.
  • This dish pairs well with grilled meats or as part of a vegetarian meal.
