Beetroot rolls with olives and pine nuts - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I substitute the pine nuts with another type of nut?

Yes, you can substitute pine nuts with walnuts, almonds, or sunflower seeds. Toasting them lightly will enhance their flavor, just like the pine nuts.

How long will these beetroot rolls last in the refrigerator?

The beetroot rolls will stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days when stored in an airtight container.

Can I make this recipe vegan?

This recipe is naturally vegan as long as the pita bread you use is vegan-friendly. Double-check the ingredients list of your pita bread to ensure it doesn't contain any dairy or eggs.

Any tips for preventing the pita bread from getting soggy?

Avoid over-saturating the pita bread with the beetroot mixture. Spread a thin, even layer. Also, don't assemble the rolls too far in advance if you plan to store them, as the moisture from the beetroot can soften the pita over time.

What are some good serving suggestions for these beetroot rolls?

These beetroot rolls are great as a snack, appetizer, or as part of a mezze platter. You can serve them with a dollop of vegan yogurt or a sprinkle of fresh herbs for added flavor and presentation.

Can I freeze these beetroot rolls?

Freezing is not recommended as the pita bread might become soggy upon thawing. It's best to enjoy them fresh or within a few days of making them.

What kind of vinegar works best in this recipe?

Balsamic vinegar or red wine vinegar would complement the beetroot flavor nicely. You can also use apple cider vinegar for a slightly sweeter tang.
