You stopped by the house tonight and brought a gift: a sugar beat picked up off the shoulder of the road. Like any good host, You cleaned it and I diced it, tossed in olive oil with a dash of salt and pepper, baked for 30 minutes at 350.
Verdict: sugar beats are delicious table fair. Kind of a cross between a red beat and a potato. Less mess than a traditional beat and very sweet. I think cut into fries and deep fried would be out of this world. Even baked, it browned a little bit and carmelized itself.
So when you see those beats on the side of the road either toss them back on the pile or eat em!
