Roasted Beet Garlic Whipped Ricotta

I really enjoyed the whipped ricotta trend, and now I’m bringing it back with this delicious Roasted Beet Garlic Whipped Ricotta recipe! Beets are such a fun superfood and are a great source of fiber and essential nutrients like folate, manganese, potassium, iron, and vitamin C. They also support healthy blood pressure and energy levels! When you come in roasted beets with garlic and ricotta, you get an awesome and delicious combo!

What you will need

Red Beet – This type of beet has a delicious sweet flavor and adds a beautiful color pop to dishes. I love enjoying them roasted especially! Red beets have been shown to support heart healthy, healthy blood pressure levels, and energy production.

Garlic – I don’t think there is a savory dish that can’t be made better with garlic! It is a staple in the cooking community and adds a fantastic flavor to any bland dish. Roasted is the way to go, and goes so well in this whipped ricotta.

Dairy Free Ricotta – I like using the brand Kite Hill. You can use regular ricotta as well if you can eat dairy.

Lemon Juice – This adds a nice zesty citrus flavor to the whipped ricotta

Honey – I like to use a local raw honey. you can omit if you are vegan or want no added sweetener.

Avocado Oil – This is an excellent high temp cooking oil for roasted veggies.
