Roasted Beet
VegetarianJewel-toned roasted beets add earthy sweetness and stunning color to artisan pizza.
Roasted beets are a showstopping pizza topping that combine deep earthy sweetness with a vibrant ruby color that stains everything it touches in the most beautiful way. Slow-roasting concentrates their natural sugars and softens their texture to a tender, almost buttery consistency. Paired with creamy goat cheese and peppery greens, roasted beets create a visually stunning and flavor-rich pizza.
