Roasted Beets and Feta

You either like beets, or you hate em'.....obviously I love them.  Wicked good and dirt cheap right now.
I had some simple and scrumptious beets the other night at my cousins house and it reminded me about what I was missing.  My husband couldn't stop talking about them so I jaunted out and bought a 5lb bag for $1.59.  C'mon, how flippin' cheap is that?!
Anyhow, wanted to try something a little different and this is what I came up with.  I figured beets are amazing with goat cheese, why not Feta.  Way too easy and super tasty.  I won't give you exact measurements because this recipe really doesn't need them.  Use what you want.  Enjoy.





Roasted Beets with Feta

Beets, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch cubes
Salt & Pepper
Olive Oil
Lemon
Feta Cheese
Garlic, finely chopped
Parsley, finely chopped (optional)

Pre-heat the oven to 440F.  Toss the cubed beets with a little olive oil and a little salt & pepper.  Place in a baking dish.  Roast for between 45minutes and an hour or until tender, tossing at least once and throwing  the garlic in last 15 min.  When the beets are cooked, transfer them to a dish, squeeze a little fresh lemon on top and sprinkle with feta cheese and parsley if using.
