About Buttery beets

Buttery Beets are a decadent vegetable side dish that features tender, steamed or roasted beets tossed in melted butter and a hint of seasoning. Rooted in Western cuisine, this recipe often highlights the earthy sweetness of beets while adding a rich, savory depth through butter. Beets are an excellent source of vitamins and minerals, including folate, potassium, and fiber, making them great for heart health and digestion. They also contain antioxidants like betalains, known for their anti-inflammatory properties. However, pairing them with butter adds saturated fat, which should be consumed in moderation. To lighten the dish, olive oil or alternative fats can be used while still complementing the natural flavors of the beets. Perfect for a holiday spread or as a colorful addition to everyday meals, Buttery Beets combine indulgence with natural nutrition in every bite.
