How do you make Roasted Beetroot Kebab?
For my kebabs, I used roasted beetroots, black beans, cashews, parsley, coconut and spices. Cook them. Add into a food processor and then pulse until you have a finely chopped mixture.
Roll the mixture into cute cylinders and arrange them on wooden skewers, and then cook on a grill or pan to get that crisp perfection. And they are done!
So these super simple, colorful, flavorful full of good health Kebabs are ready!!
