These are yummy little, Raw Feta Beet Bites with Mint! Unlike most beet appetizers, these beets are not dry. This recipe uses marinated beets, therefore they are moist and add a burst of extra flavor.
I played with garnish because I wanted something different. As a result, I added mint, instead of basil, and crispy pumpkin seeds. It's a surprise hit of flavors and I love this incredible taste! It was a big hit in our household --they went fast! Your family, friends or guests will not believe how well the flavors blend, and may develop a new love for beets.
The Pumpkin Seeds
To keep this recipe completely raw. Dehydrate your pumpkin seeds instead of crisping in the oven. Soak them (4 - 6 hours to sprout) and then toast them in the dehydrator at low heat until they have a toasty flavor (approx. 3-4 hours).
To garnish with pumpkin seeds, try the Crispy Toasty Pumpkin Seeds Recipe and try the RAW VERSION (to keep it raw), at the bottom of the post. Then enjoy the completely raw feta beet bites with mint treats!
