Beets and Carrots on the Grill
If you are in the Pacific Northwest, you know that we have had a really cold and wet spring…so much so, that my garden is behind in production…Fortunately, we have warmed up now…unfortunately, we went directly into summer…90 degrees or so, yesterday…
So for now, I am buying most of my veggies at Trader Joe’s …which includes beets…Last night, I tried something new…beets on the grill. Here’s how it worked: Wash and peel beets, cut into chunks, place in foil and drizzle with olive oil, add flaky sea salt, freshly ground pepper and fresh thyme sprigs. Wrap into a cute little bundle (it does not have to be as fancy as those places that send your take home in a foil swan ), then plop it on the grill for 20-30 minutes, depending upon how big the beets are and how hot your grill is…
I cheated (on my own recipe!) and used dried thyme…didn’t have the other available…I also made a pouch of carrots the same way, using olive oil, salt pepper and buckwheat honey. Are you kidding me????? So yummy…try it!

That sounds delicious! I wish I had read this earlier. We grilled goat burgers last night and had extra room on the grill. That would have been a perfect accompaniment to the burgers and herbed potato salad.

Yummy! I would think it would all taste good together!
