Baked Beets with Mustard Horseradish Dressing image

A Bonnie Stern Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada "Heartsmart" recipe. She adds "... when beets are baked, they retain more flavor and colour than they do when they are boiled, and skins will slip off easily while they are still warm."

Categories     Vegetable

Time 2h4m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 lbs beets
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon grated white horseradish
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1/4 teaspoon pepper
salt
1/2 cup chives, cut in 4 inch pieces

Steps:

  • Leave skins, root ends and a bit of the stems on the beets.
  • (Do NOT wash them, or they will simply steam-clean in the packet.) Wrap beets in a single-layer of foil- make sure beets are all about the same size, or wrap same-size beets in separate packages and bake the larger ones a longer time.
  • Bake in pre-heated 400*F/200*C oven for 1 to 2 hours, or until beets are very tender- test by piercing through foil with knife.
  • Open foil packages.
  • Let beets cool just until they can be handled, then PUT ON RUBBER GLOVES (thank you Kate for the reminder) and trim beets by slipping off their skins.
  • Slice beets or cut into wedges.
  • TO MAKE DRESSING:In a small bowl whisk together mustard, garlic, horseradish, vinegar and pepper.
  • Add salt to taste.
  • Drizzle dressing over sliced beets.
  • Sprinkle with chives.
  • Serve at room temperature.
  • PS: As Kate from Katoomba recommended, have any leftovers the next day with goat's cheese ... or in my case a nice bit of Bleu crumbled over. Delicious!

I'm not a big fan of beets, but I really enjoyed this recipe. The dressing was especially good.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover beets. I made it with some beets that I had roasted the night before and they were delicious.

The dressing was too spicy for my taste. I would recommend using less horseradish.

I followed the recipe exactly and the beets were undercooked. I had to roast them for an additional 15 minutes.

I love this recipe! The beets are so tender and the dressing is so tangy. I've made it several times and it's always a hit.

This is my go-to recipe for roasted beets. It's simple, flavorful, and always turns out great.

These beets were so easy to make and they turned out so well! I served them with a simple green salad and they were a hit.

I'm not usually a fan of beets, but this recipe changed my mind! The mustard-horseradish dressing was the perfect complement to the earthy sweetness of the beets.

This recipe is a keeper! The beets were perfectly tender and flavorful, and the dressing was tangy and creamy. I will definitely be making this again.
