 Baked beetroot with blood orange

 

Most of the time beetroot is used in salad or in juice, it is nice to serve it hot as a presentable dish. Blood orange is in season now and since the white pith is not bitter, can cut into thin slices to add a touch of sweet sourness to the dish.

1. Peel and cut beetroot into slices (can add other root veg like parsnip/carrot for different texture), season with soy sauce, light miso, crushed garlic, salt and pepper, mix well.

2. Cut blood orange into paper thin slices, chedder cheese into pieces.
