FAQ
Keto Roasted Beets – Tips & Variations
Keto-friendly?
Yes. While beets are slightly higher in carbs than other vegetables, this recipe uses a small amount and pairs them with healthy fats and Parmesan, making it acceptable in moderation on a ketogenic diet.
Can I use golden beets?
Absolutely. Golden beets are slightly sweeter but work well and add a nice color contrast.
Adjusting spices:
- Swap harissa for smoked paprika or chili powder for a different flavor profile.
- Add fresh thyme or rosemary for an herbal twist.
Serving suggestions:
- Serve as a side for grilled chicken, steak, or fish.
- Toss roasted beets into a leafy green salad for added texture and flavor.
Make-ahead tip:
Roast the beets in advance and store in the refrigerator for 2–3 days. Reheat or serve at room temperature.
Optional garnish:
Sprinkle chopped parsley or toasted nuts for extra color and crunch.
