It’s a shame that many people (my husband included) are averse to this appealingly rich purple bulb, that has been considered beneficial to the digestive system, as a cancer preventative, and a tonic of blood. It is a nutritious vegetable with many health-giving and healing properties. Aside from bringing immeasurable good to human health, the sweet, earthy and velvety beet makes attractive, colourful and delicious dishes.
Sweet, spicy and satisfyingly crunchy...could those chips convince your husband to eat beets who passionately dislikes them?

Brown Rice Salad with Beetroot and Herbs
| Salad | Dressing |
|---|---|
|
|
- Cook the brown rice according to the packet instructions. It takes about minutes. Drain and rinse under cold running water. Drain really well and tip into a large bowl.
- Stir the spring onions, chopped tarragon, dill and beetroot though the rice. Mix together the dressing ingredients and taste to check the seasoning. Stir the dressing through the salad. Pile the rice salad on a large serving dish and garnish with some roughly chopped dill. Serve immediately.
Oven Roasted Beetroot Chips
- 3 Medium beetroots, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- Pinch of chilli powder
- Sea salt to taste
- Preheat the oven to 170C/340F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Clean, dry and peel the beetroots. Using a mandolin or a sharp knife, slice them into wafer-thin crisps.
- Toss in a bowl with olive oil, chilli powder and salt. Arrange on the baking sheet in a single layer. Roast 45 minutes to 1 hour, turning halfway through, until crisp. Check often to make sure they don't burn. Spread out on paper towel until cool and crisp. Sprinkle with additional chilli powder and salt if necessary.

It is so pretty and I, too have an adverse reaction to this root. But I make it because husband-person adores it - and this is one sweet recipe!

The rice looks good.Nice color :)
Hi Angie, this looks great. I love eating beets, and combine with brown rice, wow, another check mark. I hope you don't mind I already save this recipe in my recipe box. I will try make it soon.
I know it's been awhile since the last time I comment and posted in foodbuzz, I have been very busy, hectic schedules and lots of things going on. I'm visiting foodie friends' sites for now while I have the chance and hopefully I can start blogging again. Happy cooking. Oh yeah, love, love the photo of your cats.
It really is a shame. Fortunately, everyone in my family loves beets! Love the color they lend to the brown rice and crispy beet chips sound delightful :)
What a gorgeous salad! A combination of all the ingredients I love. The chips look marvelous too.
Cheers,
Rosa
So pretty!!
This salad looks marvelous!
this is such an attractive vibrant red salad! yeha i heard about the goodness of beetroot and its anti cancer properties, that roasted beetroot chip sounds good to me!
Angie, one of my favorite things about cooking with beets is the beautiful pinkish red that they impart on all of their neighbors. It befuddles me that anyone could dislike such a delicious, nutritious, and beautiful veggie! Perhaps if you continue to make fantastic beet recipes (like this one) for your husband he will come to his senses!
Beets are surprisingly sweet - I used to be afraid of them too. This is wonderful.
Colorful and refreshing salad
gorgeous color and dish!:)
Very pretty colour. Looks delicious too :)
Beets are my all-time favorite vegetable. They are delicious, gorgeous and so healthy. Your salad and chips look so delectable!
Wow this rice is gorgeous!! Such vibrant colors and delicious flavors, yum! :)
Oh wow, I really want to try those chips the colour is so intense, they'd look great on a goats cheese salad too, thanks!!
I think your salad would convince both the rice and beetroot haters! The rice colour is incredible!
Looks very very pretty and beautifully done.
So pretty! My mom is a huge fan of beets, so I'm going to have to make this for her. She'd be a very happy camper. :)
@Cook with Madin
HI Madin So glad to see you back to blogging world again. :-))I had guessed that you must have been very busy.
Lovely looking rice. Healthy too!
Cant believe I have never tried roasting beets as much as I love them! So glad to see this tip!
Wow, both look so yummie! Love the color of the rice! And the chips look so crispy.
Hope you are having a great week Angie :-)
I absolutely love the look of both those beet recipes, particularly the rice. I would never thing to eat them that way. Can't wait to try this out. Thanks!
Beautiful! I just love the colour and vibrancy of the photos! Just makes ya want to eat healthy!
Beetroot is so good for health and vitality. My boys don't like beetroot, but LOVE chocolate. So, I grate beetroot and put it in chocolate cake (shhhh!!!).Here is the link for recipe

That rice salad looks amasing!
absolutely gorgeous!
This is an interesting rice dish and combination is fantastic!
I love beets any and all ways! The beet chips look so yummy! And the salad is gorgeous.
What a colorful and bright dish! The fact that it is healthy too is a bonus!
I LOVE beets so this sounds fabulous to me. Hubby HATES them in any form, so I don't think I could talk him into eating them in any way even though I know they're scrumptious! :)
Beets are so pretty :) The chips look lovely!
This dish is beautiful! I'm lucky - my hubby LOVES beets and is always willing to try new things...
Beautiful salad Angie! I'm really interested in trying the roasted beet chips. I've never had them prepared that way before. The color is gorgeous! : )
Such a colorful and healthy dish
That's such a sexy dish of rice...haha. Just love it! :D
Terrific salad, wat a catchy colour..
Oh I love the idea of roasted beet chips!
Have a happy day.
;-) Mandy
I love the idea to oven roast the beets..and yes I am a huge fan of beets and this surely sis a wonderful treat, Angie!
love;y angie. beetroot chips is out of box thunking totally
Oh, I bet I could devour a whole bowl of those beet chips! Love the rice salad, too~
The salad looks amazing, but the beet chips...OMG they are unbelievable. I am going to try them this weekend!
I think this must be a universal aversion for men. We've had beet chips at a restaurant and my husband loved them, of course, because they were chips! I need to try making these at home. I'll make the salad for me and the beet chips for him. Maybe I'll be able to get him to take a bite of the salad too :)
I could eat beets every day. And just look at the color they provide--awesome!
I used to hate beets. When I tasted a beet appetizer with goat cheese and lemon dressing, it totally changes my perspective of beets now... Ever since I came back, I started to search for some good beets recipe.
wow simply superb.... first time here and love it a lot...

I've only had beets once and if you’re going to ask me if I liked it, I'm just going to say... beets me! ha ha. I can't even remember the taste, Angie. Well, nowadays I hardly remember a lot of things. :) Seriously, with your photo, you are making me revisit beets and I'm starting with this dish that looks sooo beautiful. I love your styling -- stunning. Hope you're enjoying the rest of the week, Angie!

A very pretty salad, love the addition of roasted beet chips!
What beautiful color!
Oh Angie, not only healthy but beautiful as well. Don't you love how the rice takes on the intoxicating colour of beet? Truly stunning.
Ha! My husband is the same way. But I just figure...MORE BEETS FOR ME!! ;) I love beets and this rice is simply gorgeous, as are the chips.
I have tried beet juice and am afraid I am not quite taken to it but it was lovely in bread and cakes...your beet chips look lovely too...not too sure if I would like the salad though I am sure for those who love beet will find it delicious!

Love the combination of chopped beets and beet chips, and that color is so great!

Once again you combine things in ways I never thought of and now think, but why, it could have been me. This recipe looks delicious.
This is pure genius. Aside from my uncontrollable love for beets, what a great idea! The way the beets color this dish make it so beautiful and the beet chips add that crunch... ohh I just cannot wait to try this!
