Roasted Beetroot and Rosemary Salad
Add bright colours and earthy flavours to your plate with this gorgeous Roasted Beetroot and Rosemary Salad. We’ve coated fresh raw beetroot in a zesty mix of orange juice, garlic, honey and rosemary, and baked it all together in the oven until naturally sweet. By using raw beetroot, we’ve kept the textures firm and filling, and cut through it all with a tangy topping of crumbled feta cheese.

If you love earthy vegetables, you’ll adore this Roasted Beetroot and Rosemary Salad recipe. We’ve taken fresh raw beetroot pieces and tossed them in a zesty blend of orange juice, garlic, honey and rosemary, to unlock whole new depths of flavour while they bake in the oven.
It’s far better to use fresh, raw beetroot for this recipe. Ready-cooked versions or pickled beetroot from a jar will not retain its crunch after cooking in the same way, and you definitely don’t want to lose that moreish firm texture.
To cut through the earthiness of the beetroot, we’ve topped off our colourful bowl with mouth-wateringly juicy orange segments, and a tangy layer of crumbled feta cheese. You can make this recipe dairy-free (or vegetarian!) by using a non-dairy feta cheese alternative.
What diets is this Roasted Beetroot and Rosemary Salad suitable for?
This Roasted Beetroot and Rosemary Salad recipe is suitable for vegetarian diets if you use a vegetarian feta cheese. You can also make it dairy-free, as long as your feta cheese is non-dairy.
As always, take extra care when cooking for people with allergies and be sure to use different utensils, cookware and preparation areas.
Do you need any special ingredients to make Roasted Beetroot and Rosemary Salad?
Fresh, raw beetroot can be found in the vegetable aisle at most supermarkets, or at the greengrocers. Sometimes it comes with its stalks or leaves still attached – you’ll want to remove them, and that your beetroot is finely chopped, before cooking.
