There’s something about the combination of vibrant purple-y red beets and the sharp white of feta cheese that makes it not just a delicious palette pleaser but also a sight to behold. And if there’s a little bit of basil involved then that’s a plate or in this case, a bake tray made in heaven.
I have rather fallen in love with these miniature bake trays that work wonderfully on a day when you need to satiate a party for two or better still, just yourself. It’s because of that I recommend you get one for yourself from the link here: https://nestasia.in/collections/bakeware
Now let’s get down to this lovely recipe, that take nothing more than 10 minutes to put together and about 20 in the hot oven.
Ingredients:
- 2 baby beets, cut in thin circles
- 50 gms of feta cheese
- 2 tbsp of Extra virgin olive oil (including 1 for later)
- 1 tbsp of balsamic vinegar
- 10 gms of fresh basil
- 1/2 tsp of rosemary (optional, but it does work wonders in the bake)
- 1 bake tray/grill plate
Method:
- First preheat the oven at 180 degree C fan, bake setting, for about 8 minutes
- Now, take the bake tray and line it with 1 tbsp of oil and sprinkle rosemary on it.
- Stack the beets all across the tray
- Then crumble some feta cheese on top of the beet stack
- Cut up some fresh basil atop the cheese
- drizzle on another tbsp of oil
- Put it in the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes or until the feta looks like its about to go brown.
- pull it out and just drizzle a little bit of balsamic vinegar and serve… rather, gobble!!!!
