Smoked Beetroot

Smoked Beetroot

Beetroot is such a great ingredient. We’ve been cooking fresh beetroot in foil parcels with olive oil, balsamic and chilli flakes – recipe here! We’ve just changed this up a little for Smoked Beetroot.

This recipe, we used a packet of pre-cooked beetroot, which is a cheaper option. We’ve then smoked the beetroot in a pan with some oil, balsamic vinegar and chilli flakes.

A great side dish for a roast dinner but it’s also great cold in salads.

  4. When you’re ready to cook, add a handful of cherry smoking chips to the charcoal. Put the chips to the side so that they don’t burn too quickly.

Note: We turned this smoked beetroot into a canapé, if you plan to do this, reserve the juice from the packet as we use this for flavour and colour!
