DID YOU KNOW? Beets are an excellent source of disease-fighting phytonutrients called betalains which have powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
Betalains are also responsible for providing beets with their vibrant color. Studies show that these potent pigments may help protect against the development of certain types of cancer and disease.

Chop vegetables into large chunks, place on baking sheet and coat with oil and salt.
Bake for 45-minutes.
Put cooked vegetables and vinegar/lemon juice in a food processor and process into a rice-like consistency. I recommend using the pulse function so you don't over-process. You may need to do this step in two batches.
