"A classic sweet roll gets a new twist. Taking a cue from red velvet cake, this recipe uses beets to take the cinnamon roll to a new level. Ginger enhances the sweetness while orange balances the earthy taste of the beet. Warm or cold, these delectable rolls are a red hot addition to any potluck...."
