Place in oven and roast for about 50-60 minutes or until a fork or skewer goes easily into the vegetables. It&#8217;s best to check every 20 minutes or so. Leave to cool.<\/li><li>When cool, peel the beetroot, chop into large chunks and place in a food processor with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, the salt, garlic, chilli and feta cheese. Pulse until you have the consistency you desire. We like ours a bit chunky. If you need to add more oil then do so. <\/li><li>Add salt, pepper and lemon juice to taste. <\/li><li>Place in a bowl and sprinkle a little more feta cheese on top plus some fresh herbs if you have some to hand &#8211; dill or thyme work well.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Beetroot &#8211; it&#8217;s a love hate thing isn&#8217;t it?
