    Syn Free Chicken, Feta and Roasted Beetroot Bake | Slimming World

    Roasted beetroots are one of my favourite speed foods. They are seriously delicious and go well with a variety of different sides.

    When I was younger, the only way I ever had beetroot was either from a jar or in a salad from one of those little vacuum packs of cooked beetroot you can buy. Absolutely nothing wrong with either of those, but roasted beetroot is just on a whole other level of deliciousness.

    I can't actually remember the first time I tried the combination of roasted beets and feta, but oh my, it's just something pretty amazing. A pure taste explosion in every mouthful.

    Sometimes you also just need that little bit of protein, and chicken is just the perfect choice. Although I tend to choose chicken thighs over the breast, as they just stay much more tender and really take on the flavours of whatever you cook them with.

    I love recipes like this Syn Free Chicken, Feta and Roasted Beetroot Bake that once all prepped is just added all to one tray and baked in the oven. Sometimes you just want a fuss-free dinner, and this is certainly one of them.

    You could actually add some potatoes to the dish too, but I love this with quinoa, the nutty flavour of quinoa just compliments this Syn Free Chicken, Feta and Roasted Beetroot Bake really well. Quinoa is a good source or protein as well as having lots of other healthy vitamins and best of all it is SYN FREE, so if you are looking for something else to try and haven’t tried quinoa, add some to your shopping basket next time you are grocery shopping and give it a try along with this dish.

      I love your recipes, decided to try a new one today I am just prepping it now. I don't often see beets for sale in England and definitely not with any green leaves still attached. I have never cooked with beets before. I bought eight beets, but being unfamiliar with them I am not sure if they are small ones or not, I suspect not, I seem to have a lot of beet and ¼ pieces of are quite large. How much beet in weight would you recommend for this recipe. Also I was unsure about the garlic cloves, do they go into the oven proof dish whole? Thanks

      sorry for the late reply, I am not sure on the weight of the beets, but as the are a free/speed food I wouldnt worry about having too much, you just may need to add a bit more spray oil. The garlic cloves go in whole. Hope it worked out for you 🙂

      As you could tell I had no experience of cooking with beets. The ones I had, I now realise, were big, I only used four in the end. I also had no idea that they took such a long time to bake. The dish was was nice and could be delicious, however, as I had not allowed enough roasting time for the beets, they were a bit hard. I will make again, but will try & source beetroots from a farmers market, rather than the supermarket,so hopefully smaller & with their greens, and also make sure I roast them for at least 1 hr 30 mins. The beetroot goes so well with the feta. I have been reading how healthy beets are and am amazed, so definitely one to add to the list. 🙂

      I've been looking for a recipe using beetroot for a while now as I'm growing a lot of it on my allotment. This one sounded perfect so I made it for lunch yesterday. It was so easy to make and it tasted delicious! I wanted another plate full as soon as I'd finished! Yummy! Will definitely be making this again!

      Hi, can I freeze this dish? I’m looking to batch cook

      Can you use vac packed cooked beetroot in stead of fresh?

    9. Siobhan (Slimming Eats) says

      August 14, 2020 at 10:26 am

      you definitely need fresh uncooked beetroot for this dish. The vac packed cooked beetroot just won't compare when roasted.
