Ingredients

  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup raw beets, shredded fine*
  • 2 tablespoons oil

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 400F degrees.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
  3. Using your hands, add the shredded beets to the flour mixture and toss to coat.
  4. Add the oil and work with your hands to bring the dough together (the salt and sugar will fall to the bottom of the bowl so make sure you knead the dough well to combine everything — the outcome will be a smooth dough).
  5. Form the smooth, sweet beet dough into a flat disk and roll it out to 1/2 inch thick on parchment paper or a dry clean surface.
  6. Using a knife, cut the dough into squares or use small cookie cutters to cut out shapes.
  7. Bake on a Silpat or parchment-lined cookie sheet for 15-17 minutes.

Notes

  • *You can only use RAW fine shredded beets for this recipe. Using canned beets will not work because of the thickness of the beets and they are already cooked.
