Vegan beetroot risotto is an Italian inspired vibrant dinner that’s actually quite simple to make. Get your beets roasting and prepare the risotto on the stovetop in under 30 minutes. When you mix in the beets, the rice turns a vibrant pink! You may also enjoy my Creamy Vegan Risotto with Roasted Vegetables or this Mushroom Risotto.
What does creamy beetroot risotto taste like?
Creamy, garlicky and a tiny bit sweet from the roasted beets. It tastes best when served with some vegan feta or ricotta cheese. The creaminess provides the perfect balance to beets! If you are a fan of beets, you will adore this recipe and crave it all year long.
How to roast beets in the oven
Clean your beets, cut off the stems, tops and bottoms and cut off the skin (or peel). Dice into small cubes and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with a little salt and roast for 20-30 minutes, until tender. For a more detailed tutorial, check out this Perfect Roasted Beets Recipe.
