Raw, prepped or roasted beetroot can be used in this recipe. However, roasted beetroot will yield a smoother texture. To save time on busy mornings, cook the beetroot by washing and wrapping in aluminum foil and baking in a hot oven for approximately 1 hour while you're making dinner during the week. Store roasted beetroot in the fridge for several days until ready to use.
