Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pounds mixed small or medium beets (such as Chioggia, red, and/or golden), scrubbed

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss beets with 2 Tbsp. oil in a 13-by-9-inch baking dish; season with salt. Add thyme and 1/4 cup water. Cover with foil and roast beets until a paring knife slips easily through flesh, 60-75 minutes. Let cool slightly, then rub skins from beets with paper towels; cut into 1" pieces. Toss in a large bowl with vinegar and 2 Tbsp. oil; season with salt.
  • Meanwhile, place peppers on one side of a rimmed baking sheet and pecans on the other side and roast, tossing nuts once, until peppers start to blister and pecans are slightly darkened and fragrant, 6-8 minutes. Let cool; coarsely chop.
  • Toss peppers, pecans, and onion with beets; season with salt. Drizzle with chili oil and top with Pecorino.
  • Do Ahead
  • Beets can be roasted 3 days ahead. Cover and chill.

I'm not a huge fan of beets, but this recipe changed my mind! The sweetness of the beets paired perfectly with the other ingredients. I especially loved the crispy pecans and the pop of heat from the shishito peppers. Highly recommend!
