Method

*Roast beetroots in the oven at 180 C wrapped in a foil for 50 min until fork tender.
*Discard the beet skins. Blend everything together to get a super bright pink beetroot pesto. To reduce oil addition, add a ice cube or two but finish within three days. Otherwise it should stay great for 8-10 days in an airtight jar in the fridge.
*For the yellow part, Kaur pan roasted some pumpkin and mashed it.
