By now I’m sure you have read that turmeric is a superfood, packed with anti-inflammatory super powers. These turmeric maple roasted beets and carrots are an easy and delicious way to incorporate this powerful spice into your diet.

It’s easy to add turmeric into your daily cooking

My grandmother was the first person to tell me about turmeric years ago, and she’s usually right, so I followed her advice and found ways to add it in to my cooking. While I could still add it in even more, it is really not difficult to add it to roasted veggies, smoothies, and also teas. Although, watch out because the golden hue of turmeric will no doubt discolor your blender if it is not glass!

But why beets – they taste like dirt

I told Justin I was having a little trouble writing this post, and his response (in a sarcastic voice) was, “What? Why? Don’t you just love beets; they’re so earthy!” Insert eye roll. He is one of those who believes beets taste like dirt. I used to think that too. How about you? Are you for or against beets? As I have said before, going Paleo has changed my palate, and beets, which used to taste too earthy to me, now have a slightly sweet undertone. I actually really love them now!

I love beets roasted with carrots. You can really make them savory or sweet; a touch of sweet is obviously my favorite. Just look at the caramelized, slightly sweet, yet salty combo.
