Salt-Baked Beetroots

Salt-cooking is a fascinating and versatile technique. Traditionally applied to fish, it’s a surprisingly effective method with vegetables, particularly root vegetables such as beetroot, carrots and sweet potatoes. The salt not only helps conduct the heat during the cooking process but also seals the flavours inside, resulting in a tender texture and intensified taste. Trying it with various combinations of herbs and vegetables can open up a world of new and interesting recipes.
