Roasted Beet Fries and Summer Vegetable Pasta

 

Beet Fries
Ingredients:

• beets
• oil
• sea salt

Directions:

1. Cut beets into fry like strips.  
2. Toss with oil and salt.
3. Bake at 450 degrees for about 20 minutes on each side

I also served these with an aioli dipping sauce that I got from here. These were very tasty, but unfortunately mine were not very crispy.   I would try cooking them at at even higher heat for a shorter amount of time.

Directions:

1. Fry zucchini and onion in oil for 5 min.
2. Add the tomatoes and season with salt and pepper.  Cook for 5 more minutes.
3. Toss with pasta and add basil and feta.
