Grilled Beetroot with Feta Cheese
Some people may find serving beetroot like this strange, but it is very tasty. If you are a fan of beetroots and beetroot salads, you will love this variation - grilled beetroot with feta cheese. Young beetroots cooked on the grill are different from boiled beetroots, they are more crispy and have a unique smoky flavor.

- Salton taste
- Thyme3 spring
- Spices0.5 teaspoon
- Feta50 g
Directions
To make grilled beetroot with feta, peel and slice small-sized young beets into slices about 0.7 cm thick. It is better to do this wearing disposable gloves (or placing your hand in a bag) as beets stain the skin.
Transfer the beets to a bowl, season with salt, vegetable oil, and spices. Mix well so that each beet slice is coated with oil and herbs. Choose spices according to your preference, I like oregano, thyme, or an Italian herb blend.
Place the slices of beetroot on a grill grate.
Cook the vegetables on the grill, flipping them constantly. It took me about 10 minutes, but the cooking time will depend on the heat. Do not overcook the beetroot to prevent it from drying out and burning. The beetroot should be cooked but still crispy. Grill marks may appear on the surface, which is typical for grilled vegetables.
Arrange the slices of beetroot on a plate.
Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top, you can also cut it into even cubes. Optionally, you can substitute feta with other cheese such as goat cheese.
Season with salt if necessary, drizzle with vegetable or olive oil, and sprinkle with fresh thyme leaves.
Serve grilled beets with feta alongside grilled meat, poultry, or fish.
