Beet Puree image

Roasting beets intensifies their flavor, but can take a long time. Here they're peeled, cut into small wedges, drizzled with oil, and seasoned with orange, garlic, ginger, and coriander before being wrapped in foil. They pick up flavor from the seasonings and bake in only 30 minutes.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my puree turned out grainy and bland. I'll have to try again.

This puree was a little too runny for my liking. I think I'll try again and reduce the amount of liquid.

This puree was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some roasted garlic and a touch of cumin, which really brought out the flavor.
