Jerk Beets
Oh, yes! It's a thing and you will love the sweetness of the beets combined with the savoriness of jerk seasoning. Get ready!
Heads up!
I created this recipe for our Erectile Dysfunction episode of The Doc and Chef Show and after watching the video below you'll understand just how beets help with this challenging situation!
Ingredients
Setup
3 large beets, peeled and cut to large bite-sized pieces.
Jerk Seasoning
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon ground allspice
- 1 teaspoon cayenne
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon ground clove
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
- Juice of one lemon
- ½ cup red wine vinegar
- 4 scallions, slivered
Directions
In a container with a tight-fitting lid, shake together the jerk seasoning ingredients and set aside.
Preheat your oven to 375 and line a baking sheet or dish with parchment paper.
Combine the liquid ingredients in a bowl and toss the beets to coat. Drain away the liquid and toss with 2 tablespoons of jerk seasoning. Scatter the beets on to the parchment and tent a piece of aluminum foil over them so the beets can steam.
Roast for 35-40 minutes or until fork-ready.
Garnish with scallions.
Enjoy as-is or add to salads, pasta, pizza, whatever!
