Roasted Beets
- Number of Servings: 1
Ingredients
Canola oil spray4 medium beets, scrubbed and trimmed of stems and roots1/2 Tbsp. minced shallot or mild onion1 Tbsp. fresh lime juice1 Tbsp. fresh orange juice1/2 tsp. Dijon mustard1 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oilSalt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste1 head Bibb or butterhead lettuce, leaves separated, washed and dried
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly coat with oil spray four squares of foil large enough to wrap beets. Place each beet on a foil square. Pinch together and seal foil edges to form a pocket. Keeping them spaced apart, stand beets on a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking pan.
2. Bake until tender when pierced with fork, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
3. Peel back foil to expose beets and let stand until beets are cool enough to handle but still warm. Remove skins. (To avoid stained hands, use disposable gloves while slipping off the skin with a paring knife.) Cut beets into thin wedges.
4. In small bowl, make dressing by whisking together shallot, olive oil, juices and mustard until well combined. Add salt and pepper to taste.
5. Arrange lettuce leaves on a serving plate. Arrange beets on top in pinwheel fashion. (If desired, beets can first be re-heated in microwave oven.) Drizzle dressing over beets and lettuce.
Makes 4 servings.

This was good. I did make a few changes. I doubled the dressing, and added a couple of 2tsp. of raw sugar to balance the tartness of the dressing (honey would be good too). I also cut the beets up and and put them in a container with the dressing. Flavors meld wonderfully. Great way to have beets. - 6/18/09
