Let me tell you I know beets are more of a summer / fall item but here in Bonaire they are everywhere at the moment and I am not complaining

6 Ingredients, Under 30 Minutes and you are rocking out Brunch in no time with this super yummy Roasted Beet Frittata

Unfortunately, a vast majority of the produce they sell here comes from Holland and even more unfortunately even farther. Not much growing here. I would think that possibly we could get carrots closer than Canada but it seems like I moved to the lowest of the Caribbean Islands and am still eating what my mom would serve me as a kid. Imagine that? We have recently bought a house and have already started a garden so hopefully soon we can be moving away from a lot more store bought produce

So I am not sure where these beets are coming from but they are gorgeous, cheap and in abundance so I am going to say sorry to Rob in advance but there are going to be a lot more beets in the house soon. Oh and by sorry I mean right now as you are reading this. I will convert you one of these days

You should have seen his reaction the other day when I said that I was going to make some beet chips

Rob: “Why, Why would anyone want to eat that?”

Me: “Have you ever tried them?”

Rob: “No, but it sounds disgusting. But if you are going to make some gross beet chips make some carrot chips. Who doesn’t like carrots? You need variety”

Oh I love when people say that they hate something before they even tried it. Ok no wait, I hate Tuna Eyeball. Have I tried it, Nope. Is there anyway you can get me to ever eat it, nope. But something tells me there is a big difference between Tuna Eyeballs and Beets … just a little haha

There is not much to this Frittata at all I very much just wanted to keep it simple and let the two ingredients shine for themselves. First and foremost you have these beautifully cooked beets and then you surround them with pillowy-eggy goodness. Is that a word? Hmm well it should be

Here are a few tips for cooking this frittata

1. Wearing gloves helps when handling beets so that you don’t get the bright red staining on your hands. If you have ever cooked beets you will know exactly what I mean
2. Cooking time will depend on what type of pan you are using so just watch your frittata and the thicker it is the longer it will take to cook
3. You don’t need to cook the frittata on the stove at all. Lower the temperature to 350 degrees and pour in an oven proof baking dish. Again, this will increase the cooking time

And on a funnier side note if you do not know this already, if you eat a lot of beets your pee will turn pink. It’s normal don’t freak out like I did and google it. It actually has a name its called Beeturia! There now you know

Also, when I showed my boyfriend the pictures (because naturally I chose to cook this on a morning he was out) he told me that there was a lot of photoshop on it because of the way the Kiwi’s looked. Let me tell you, this is the way they looked when I cut them open. They were this type of yellow. Why I don’t know never seen them like this and never seen them after but they were delicious none the less. Speaking of which I actually tried a Kiwi berry the other day and omg if you ever have the chance to get some do it. They are the size of a large blackberry and pop in your mouth and are little kiwi bite size joys

No matter what you are doing for the rest of the week or weekend make some time to make this kick ass beet frittata and the best part of it is that you are going to feel great afterwards and ready to tackle to day. Or just lounge around to each their own

Enjoy
