Crispy Smashed Beets with Feta & Pistachios

• portions: 4 servings
• temps total: 30 minutes

Ingrédients

2 (8.8-ounce) packages cooked whole beets

1 tablespoon cornstarch

¼ teaspoon ground pepper

¼ teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon honey

¼ cup crumbled feta cheese

2 tablespoons chopped salted, roasted pistachios

2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill or mint

Instructions

Preheat oven to broil with a rack in middle position. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil; coat foil with cooking spray.

Slice beets into ½-inch-thick rounds. Pat dry with a paper towel. Transfer the beet rounds to a large bowl; toss with 1 tablespoon cornstarch, ¼ teaspoon pepper and ¼ teaspoon salt until evenly coated. Arrange the beets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Using the bottom of a Mason jar or sturdy glass, press on each beet to flatten it, but keep it intact. Drizzle the beets evenly with 2 tablespoons oil.

Broil until the edges are crispy and browned, 13 to 16 minutes, rotating the pan front to back halfway through.

Transfer the beets to a serving platter. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon honey; top with ¼ cup feta and 2 tablespoons each pistachios and herbs. Serve warm or at room temperature.
