Healthy Vegan Recipes Vegan Holiday & Occasion Recipes Vegan Thanksgiving Recipes Vegan Thanksgiving Side Dish Recipes Lemon-Herb Roasted Beets 4.2 (5) 5 Reviews We love how roasting brings out the sweet flavor of beets. Golden beets look especially pretty when tossed with the fresh herb and lemon seasoning mix, but any type of beets will work in this recipe. If you're a lemon lover, be sure to add the squeeze of fresh lemon juice after the beets are roasted.
