More About This Recipe

  • Beets and potatoes in seasonal heart shapes – so cute, so fun, so delicious! I don’t know about you, but I've always loved Valentine’s Day. I know people either hate it or love it, but for some reason, boyfriend or no boyfriend, I have always considered it a special day. I've forever loved creating fun Valentine’s Day treats. My younger sister (she's only 6) and I always make loads of pink cupcakes and heart-shaped sugar cookies – topped with pink frosting, of course. Today though, I'm going to show you a savory treat for heart day! Exciting, right?! I made us some super simple and crazy delicious heart-shaped roasted beets and potatoes. These are the perfect side dish for your special Valentine’s Day meal. What a special savory treat!
