Oven-Roasted Beetroot Garlic Toasts

No ratings yet

1 Beetroot loaf taken from S&P rustic ruby beetroot loaf recipe - see below for link
Olive oil, generous amount
coarse sea salt
4 Garlic cloves (or more if needed)

Preheat your oven to 200°C (fan or conventional).
Thinly slice the beetroot loaf. A bread slicer (if you have one) is ideal here for even, crisp results.
Lay the slices flat on a baking tray., cut to the size you want for serving. Drizzle generously with olive oil, then brush to coat both sides. Sprinkle lightly with coarse sea salt.
Place the tray in the preheated oven and toast for 10 minutes, until lightly crisp and fragrant.
Cut the garlic cloves in half.
Remove from the oven and immediately rub the surface of each hot toast with the cut side of a garlic clove. Use a fresh clove as needed for the best flavour.

Toasts can be frozen, and re-heated in the oven but won't be as crispy and delicious as freshly made.
