Moist and delicious! Didn't have dates handy so substituted with toasted pine nuts. Used dried oregano and basil in addition to the thyme and tied the bacon wrapped roti with twine to secure. Baked one chicken breast for 30 minutes (turned after 15 min.) and broiled for another 5 minutes (turn at 3 min.). The end product was absolutely delicious, flavorful and moist. Will make again!

Love that this is one of the few beets recipes I've seen which uses the tops too! Roasted beets per the recipe - they came out perfectly. Diced while warm and tossed with toasted almonds and marinated mozzarella cheese. Delicious! For the greens, to make it a heartier side dish, sauteed mushrooms and sliced chicken sausage separately and set aside. Then cooked garlic with diced bell peppers (no onion on hand). Added beet greens and cooked until wilted. Mixed mushrooms/sausage back in until heated through, seasoned with salt/pepper and drizzled red wine vinegar to finish. Lots of room for creativity with this recipe!

Overall, the dish was delicious and light. Substituted couscous for quinoa, pecans for pine nuts, minced red onions for shallots, and added chopped bell pepper, kale and oregano/thyme/basil seasoning - all sauteed in olive oil. Topped filled squash halves with shredded truffle cheese (Trader Joe) and broiled for 2 minutes. Yum!!!
