Rub beets with 2 tablespoons olive oil, and season with cumin, salt, and pepper. Wrap each beet in aluminum foil and place on a separate baking sheet from the potatoes. Place both in the oven and roast for 50 minutes or until fully cooked through. Set aside to cool, then peel the beets and dice into 1-inch chunks.

Step 3

Spread labneh on plate. Top with sweet potato, beets, and microgreens.
