Preparation

Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 450°F. Trim, peel, and cut the beets into 1-inch wedges. Discard the greens or save for another use. Put the beets in a shallow 9×13-inch (or similar) baking dish, toss them with the olive oil and salt until thoroughly coated, and then arrange them in a single layer. Roast the beets, stirring after 20 minutes, until tender when pierced with a fork or skewer and lightly browned on the edges, 30 to 40 minutes.
Meanwhile, whisk the orange juice, vinegar, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until the salt is dissolved.
Remove the beets from the oven and while they’re still hot, drizzle the dressing over them, tossing to coat. Let the beets cool to room temperature to meld the flavors. Taste and add more salt, if necessary. Serve at room temperature or gently warmed, topped with the chives, if using.

这些都是非常容易和美味的改变速度。That being said, I wouldn’t make them again as my main veggie with a fancy meal - they just weren’t exciting enough. They would be ideal when you want roasted beets quickly - they cook much faster that the traditional method of roasting them with the skins on in tin foil.

Very easy and a recipe that really compliments the beets. I like it because it can be served at room temperature, therefore, freeing up the oven for other dishes. Will become a standard for beets.

This was very good. I am new to cooking fresh beets. Made a great side for the grilled chicken breast and green salad with raw vegies. My husband and I agreed we would make this again.

Delicious, I used just-picked beets from the garden and added a turnip as well. Garnished with chives and a sprinkling of chervil. Will be making this one again.
