I finally checked out Life Alive Cafe in Cambridge and was totally blown away; the combination of flavors, the great vibe– an excellent experience overall.

I ordered a delicious combo of grains and veggies, and my favorite part?

The beets.

When I decided to try and re-create the dish at home, I instantly doubted my own beet-making skills. So, in preparation for this post, I scoured blogs for an excellent “how-to.”

Here’s one for your veggie-making pleasure.

Jennifer Che of Tiny Urban Kitchen fame took on the golden-roasteds this weekend and shares her wisdom.  The secret? CARAMELIZING FIRST.  Check out her post to learn more.
