Just Beet It: Balsamic Roasted Beets with Gorgonzola and Walnuts

I did not grow up eating beets. My parents were not adventurous eaters, and beets just looked too odd, what with that startling crimson color and all. I was probably in my 30’s before I had ever voluntarily tasted beet roots, and I was hooked from the beginning. READ MORE

    Love this, gonna skip the walnuts though, I'm allergic. Maybe Pine Nuts.

    My parents are not adventurous eaters either. I still haven't tasted beets but i'm willing to give it a try!

    Looks delicious...but, did you peel them? Sometimes I find peeling is necessary and other times not. What's your take?

    Hey Nick- I think pine nuts would be great. I also think marcona almonds would work, or OH! black walnuts! (neither of which would help with your allergies). Unfortunatly, none of them works with my budget right now, so I have to settle for walnuts.

    Culinarian - I don't think I've ever peeled beets (mostly because of the mess), and I've never had any problems. Of course, I also eat the peel on my baked potato too.

    The gorgonzola on this sold me. You're right; it's the perfect combination. Gorgeous picture too!

    This looks really good. I love beets, nuts, and cheese together. It always sounds like an odd combo to me, but tastes great.
