Nutrition is important for the quality of hair we grow…

There are a lot of different ways that you can get the nutrients that you need for healthy hair growth. One way is to eat foods that are rich in these nutrients. Another way is to take supplements that contain them. And, finally, you can use topically applied products that contain these nutrients.

So, not only will this dish make your taste buds happy, but it will also give your hair a healthy boost. Enjoy!

Roasted Beets and Carrots

Makes 6 servings

• 6 medium beets (2 1/2 lb. with greens), trimmed, leaving 1 inch of stems attached
• 2 1/2 lb. carrots, cut each carrot in half from the center, then each half cut in half again, lengthwise
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Himalayan Pink Sea Salt

Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Place beets in a roasting pan and cover with foil. Roast in the oven, on the center rack until tender, about 1 1/4 hours.

Step 2: Toss carrots with oil and salt and pepper to taste in a shallow baking pan.

Step 3: Remove beets from oven, and set aside. Roast carrots in the oven, on the center rack until tender, about 20 minutes.

Step 4: While carrots are roasting, unwrap beets and, when just cool enough to handle, slip off skins and remove stems. Cut each beet into in half.

Step 5: Add beets to carrots, tossing to combine, and roast until beets are hot and carrots are very tender, about 15 minutes more.
