Wow! So pretty, and the taste is amazing with rich carmelization. (And these are rich. A tablespoon each of olive oil and sweetener, I used maple syrup, for the batch which is so addicting I could easily eat it in one sitting.) I will be making these again. They would be great used as a garnish.

A few notes about the recipe. I have a set of graduated heart cookie cutters. Even with a big beet and my smallest cutter, I could only get 1 heart per slice. I got 6 hearts out of my beet. So, I used different sized cutters centered on the beet slice to make a positive and a negative heart, and I cooked them both. The negatives didn't hold their heart shape too well, but they tasted great - chewy/crispy with lots of carmelization. Also, she mentions using a toaster oven, but that would have worked only if I cooked the 6 hearts alone.
