1 large lemon ( juice )
1 lemon zest
1-2 Tbs sesame oil
Spices: cumin, salt & pepper
Instructions:
-

While the beets are still warm, cut each one in half and then each half into 4 to 6 wedges and place them in a large mixing bowl. As you're cutting the beets, toss them with half of the sesame oil with lemon juice (warm beets absorb more ), 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper & cumin Taste for seasonings.
