Notes
- Recipe notes: You do not have to roast both red and golden beets, you can choose one color beets and it is still just as delicious.
- Prep ahead: Beets can be cut up to two days ahead of time to reduce cooking time, any longer than that and the beets may begin to dry out before roasting.
- Leftovers and storage: Beets can be kept in refrigerator for up to 4 days, however for the best taste and texture of beet fries serve immediately. Any leftovers will not be as crispy, so they will make for great toppings for salads and grain bowls.
