  • Tbsp olive oil 
  • Tsp balsamic vinegar 
  •  grapefruit peeled
  • cup sprouts 
  • 0.3 cup pumpkin seeds 
  • 0.3 cup goat cheese crumbled

Equipment

Directions

  1. Wash beets and pat dry.
  2. Place beets on a sheet of aluminum foil and drizzle with olive oil. Fold foil around the beets to create a sealed pouch.
  3. Place the pouch on a cookie sheet and bake until beets are tender. Cooking time varies on the size of the beets. After 30 minutes, pierce the beets with a fork. If they are still hard, return to the oven and test them every 15 minutes until they are tender.
