Looking for a comforting yet delicious dish? Try this Roasted Beets with Potatoes, Bryndza, and Bacon recipe! It’s the perfect combination of hearty ingredients and rich flavors.

Roasted Beets with Potatoes, Bryndza, and Bacon is a dish that combines some of the finest ingredients into one incredibly flavorful meal. With roasted beets and potatoes, topped with smoky bacon and creamy bryndza, this recipe is a true treat for your taste buds.

As I mentioned in my previous recipe for traditional borscht, I don’t cook with beets often, but I always enjoy it when I do. I had some leftover beets and potatoes, and this recipe for roasted potatoes with beets, bacon, and bryndza came to mind as the perfect solution.

This dish is not only delicious but also very easy to prepare. Simply parboil the potatoes and beets, then roast them in the oven for just under half an hour. Meanwhile, fry some bacon, and soon you’ll be enjoying a wonderful and slightly unconventional combination of flavors.

How to Make Roasted Beets with Potatoes, Bryndza, and Bacon?

Start by cooking the potatoes and beets. I like to use medium-sized vegetables, but if yours are larger, cut them into quarters; if smaller, halves will do. Boil them until they’re just tender, then transfer them to a baking sheet.

The bacon adds an indulgent touch to this dish. While it may not be the healthiest ingredient, it’s undeniably tasty. If only bacon had the same nutritional value as an apple—we’d all be better off! The rendered fat from the bacon can even be used to drizzle over the potatoes and beets for an extra layer of flavor.

The Perfect Flavor Combination: Beets, Potatoes, and Bryndza

The creamy, tangy flavor of bryndza is an essential element in this dish. It adds depth and richness to the roasted vegetables. If you find the taste of bryndza too strong, you can mix it with a bit of milk to mellow it out, but don’t leave it out entirely.

The combination of roasted beets, crispy potatoes, smoky bacon, and creamy bryndza is simply unbeatable.

This recipe for Roasted Beets with Potatoes, Bryndza, and Bacon is perfect for a busy weeknight or any time you want a comforting, satisfying meal. The few simple ingredients come together to create something truly special.

Tips for the Best Roasted Beets and Potatoes

  • Use high-quality bacon for the best flavor. Smoky, thick-cut bacon works wonderfully in this recipe, but any type will do.
  • Be sure to parboil the potatoes and beets before roasting. This ensures they’ll be tender inside and crispy on the outside after roasting.
  • For added flavor, drizzle the roasted vegetables with some of the rendered bacon fat before serving.

If you’re looking for a new way to enjoy roasted vegetables, this recipe for Roasted Beets with Potatoes, Bryndza, and Bacon is one you won’t want to miss. It’s hearty, flavorful, and perfect for a family meal or a gathering with friends.

Recipe Preparation Steps
1.

Begin by parboiling the potatoes and beets. Peel the vegetables and trim the ends off the beets. If your potatoes and beets are large, cut them into quarters; if small, cut them in half.

2.

Place the vegetables in two separate pots, salt the water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and cook for about 15 minutes, or until the vegetables are just tender. Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F).

3.

Drain the potatoes and beets. Shake the drained potatoes in the pot to roughen their edges, which will help them become crispier when roasted.

4.

Place the parboiled vegetables on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with smoked paprika, garlic powder, and rosemary. Season with salt and black pepper.

5.

Roast in the oven for about 25 minutes, or until the potatoes begin to turn golden brown.

6.

While the vegetables are roasting, dice the bacon and fry it in a pan until crispy.

7.

Serve the roasted potatoes and beets with crispy bacon, bryndza, and freshly chopped spring onions.
