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. |

AlternativeYou can also make this beetroot dip with sunflower oil. Olive oil will work great, too. Just add 3 tbsps of it instead of the Greek yogurt and mix with salt, pepper and grated garlic. |
