Ingredients
INGREDIENTS
- 4 medium beets, peeled and cut into bite-sized cubes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh mint, chopped

- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a bowl, toss the beet cubes with olive oil, salt, and pepper until well coated.
- Spread the beets on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the yogurt, dill, mint, lemon juice, and garlic powder until well combined.

- Drizzle the herbed yogurt over the top of each bite before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
Tip: You can also add a dash of red pepper flakes for a bit of heat!
For extra flavor, try adding a sprinkle of crushed walnuts on top before serving. If you’re looking for a vegan option, substitute the feta with a tahini-based cheese or omit it altogether. These bites can be made ahead of time; just store the assembled bites in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours before serving. Reheat slightly if desired, but they are also delightful served cold!
