Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Toss chopped beets and carrots with olive oil, salt and pepper. Spread veggies in a single layer on baking sheet, cook for close to 1 hour until tender. Take them out halfway to stir them and flip them over.
  3. For the creamy jalapeño sauce, combine the herbs, jalapeño, garlic clove, olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper in a food processor. Pulse a few times until everything is finely chopped. Add the yogurt to the food processor, and pulse until the sauce is combined and uniformly green.
  4. To serve; spread the jalapeño sauce as a base. Pile the roasted veggies on top. Garnish with remaining herbs and some edible flowers. Enjoy!

Enjoy as a side dish with some grilled salmon. Or serve with white beans or a delicious grain for a main dish!
