Roasted beetroot with feta

.

Beetroot are in season - cheap and yummy! I love to just boil them (pick the small ones) and serve warm with butter and salt. However, this time I decided to try something else.

1 lb beetroots
olive oil
Feta cheese
salt, pepper
honey

Boil the beets until almost done (soft when tested with a needle). Immidiately rinse in cold water and peel (I strongly recommend to use an apron since the beet juice is bright pink and it tends to be messy). Cut the beets in smaller pieces and put in a dish, pour a little bit of olive oil and honey over. Tear the feta in pieces and crumble over the beets. Salt and pepper to taste. Roast in 400'F until the cheese is staring to melt and go brown. Serve as a side dish.

I served it along with a grilled chicken together with mashed cauliflower, hummus and a green salad.
