Brain-Boosting Beet Bites

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400F.

Step 2

Wash and dry beets and remove any greens.

Step 3

Coat the outside of each beet with a little bit of olive/avocado/coconut oil. Sprinkle with about 1/8 teaspoon of salt.

Step 4

Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast for about 50 minutes, or until a fork can be inserted into the beets easily.

Step 5

Allow cooked beets to cool. With a knife, cut off both ends and remove the peel. Chop up one beet and place any extras in a sealed container in the refrigerator for other recipes (salads, smoothies, baked goods, oatmeal, etc.).

Step 6

Place all of the ingredients (including the cooked beet) into a food processor. Pulse and then let run until the mixture sticks together when pressed between fingers.

Step 7

Shape into desired size balls (about 20). Roll balls in additional shredded coconut, if desired and enjoy!

Step 8

Store beet bites in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
