Baked Beetroots with Cashew Cheese and Hazelnut & Thyme Dukkah

February 4, 2018 / Niki / 6 Comments

Today I have an easy and delicious recipe for you- lovely whole baked beetroots with creamy cashew cheese which is just as comforting as a baked potato with cheese but just a bit more interesting.
The main focus of this recipe is the seasonal veg, as you probably already know I’m pretty obsessed with vegetables – for me they are usually the focal point of the meal and today’s stars are the beetroot and seasonal greens.

Eating seasonally means you get to eat more intuitively; i.e. what’s the best thing to make with this or that? I love to eat lots of root veg in the Winter, not only delicious but also nourishing for this time of year.

I love this recipe for it’s simplicity – fresh organic beetroots baked until tender then topped with creamy cashew cheese and topped with crunchy super savoury Hazelnut Dukkah. I think it’s a wonderful combination.

A favourite way to serve them is as a single portion (one beetroot per person) as a starter or as part of a big veggie mezze with dips, salads, grains etc

I really hope you love these as much as I do. X

I'd love to know if you made this recipe.

    Can you make the cheese in a Vitamix or is it best made in a food processor. Thanks
