1 Done 2 min | Prepare IngredientsPrepare the ingredients. |
2 Done 30 min | Bake beetsBake your beetroots in foil in a 350 °F oven (180 °C) until they become tender. I had small beetroots, and it took me around 30 minutes to prepare them. Tip: Prickle them with a knife. Beetroots are ready when they become soft. Leave them on a plate. When ready, wait for approximately 20 min until the beetroots cool off. |
3 Done 3 min | Grate beetrootsPeel the beetroots from the skin and grate them on a grater. You may also use chopper in case you don't like to grate. |
4 Done 2 min | Add Other IngredientsAdd yogurt, grated garlic, salt, pepper and mix all ingredients. Aim for a smooth and nice texture. Transfer into a bowl. |
5 Done 1 min | Decorate (optional)Decorate with chopped spring onion. |
