3 medium beets, peeled and quartered (about 2 cups)

1 garlic clove, minced

PREHEAT oven to 400F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
TOSS beets with 1 tbsp oil. Spread out on a half of prepared sheet. Toss cauliflower florets with 1 tbsp oil, then add to other side of sheet. Roast until vegetables are tender, about 40 min. (Beets will be dark). Cool.

Scrape into a bowl and drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve with pita bread and fresh veggies.
