A Delicious Alternative: Roasted Beet Stalk

Discovering new tastes is always very exciting for me, we have such a wide and delicious cuisine that I always come across different flavors. This delicious recipe, in which the leaves and stems are valued, has actually been made in villages for many years.

I had read it before, but I could not find the opportunity to try it because I could not see fresh beets sold with such stems. I guess it's because there's no way it's that fresh to us in big cities.

While visiting the Gökova market, instagram story Recipes started to come from my followers because I threw them in. When I said pickles, salads, pastas, briskets, I finally roasted the stems :)

It was really delicious, thanks to everyone who gave the recipe💕
