SO HOW'D IT GO?
I'm not sure why recipes always state to remove beet skin. My beets were organic, and after being roasted the skins are hardly noticeable.
Simple and very tasty. It doesn't hurt that beets are my favorite vegetable and chickpeas are my favorite legume. Perfect recipe for me, thanks!
