The CookingBites recipe challenge: brown sugar

 

[Morning Glory]

Serve cold too I think? Looks good. My only problem (personally) is that beetroot is already rather sweet.

I served these room temp, which was fine, though the recipe says to serve hot or warm. MrsT did comment and say she’d prefer them warm.

That’s my perspective in general, too. I barely add sugar when I pickle beets. But, I’m curious about this: I’ll try something if I know what I’m getting into, so I have questions. Is this a dessert or more of a funky savory thing? It seems like you’ve prepared sort of much prettier candied yams.

It’s definitely a savory side dish - think along the lines of glazed carrots (another naturally sweet-ish vegetable).
