Chef's Notes
Cooking the beets and carrots We would recommend boiling over roasting the beets and carrots as roasting makes them too dry to make a ketchup paste.
Prep Ahead Cook the beets and carrots ahead of time and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Storage Store the ketchup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days or in the freezer for up to 30 days. We recommend splitting the ketchup in half so you have some for the week and bringing the frozen ketchup to the refrigerator 48 hours before the following week.
