Ingredients
Scale
- Roasted Beets
- 1/3 cup pepitas
- 1 t salt
- 1/2 t garlic powder
- 1 t ginger powder
- 1/4 cup of sliced sweety drop peppers

Instructions
To roast the beets and pepitas:
- Preheat oven to 375.
- Wash beets and place in a deep roasting pan with vinegar, sugar and water and roast covered until tender. About 40 minutes. Let cool. Skins will stuff off easily. Cut into chunks after removing skins.
- In a dry skillet, combine pepitas, garlic powder and ginger. Heat on high until pepitas begin to brown. Finish with salt and pepper.
- Cut beets into quarters or eighths, depending on size preference. Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl, toss to combine and serve.
To assemble the salad:
- In a bowl, combine beets and pepitas.
- Sprinkle with feta. Salt and pepper to taste. Perhaps add a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
- Plate with fresh thin slices of lime, arugula, sliced peppadew peppers, a sprinkle of slivered scallions…or any fresh touch that pleases your palate.
