There are plenty of things that I’ll make from scratch, but I’ve gotta tell you, beets just aren’t one of them! I’ve bought soooo many bunches of beets at the farmers’ market with such good intentions, but they always seem to stick around my house far longer than they should. This is exactly why I’ve stopped buying uncooked beets and absolutely LOVE Love Beets! They make is so easy to eat beets without any of the hassle!
Have you tried the marinated beets from Love Beets? I discovered them last month, and they’re a total game changer! Seriously, I may never eat plain beets again! I’m obsessed with the White Wine + Balsamic Beets, which I used in this recipe, along with the Honey + Ginger Beets. They’re soooooo good!
I’ve teamed up with Love Beets to bring you the easiest and most delicious appetizer ever, for these Beet, Pear & Prosciutto Bites With Creamy Maple Pecan Sauce, which is the perfect pairing of sweet + salty – annnnnd basically my absolute favorite flavor combo. You could always swap out the pear for apple if you prefer, as either would be amazing!
I really wanted to keep this appetizer super simple, and something you could whip up in just minutes without having to cook a thing. After all, we’ve got enough cooking going on around the holidays! These are perfect year-round, and especially for any holiday parties that you have coming up!
Enjoy this recipe for my Beet, Pear & Prosciutto Bites With Creamy Maple Pecan Sauce!
