ROASTED MARINATED BEETS WITH VINAIGRETTE



Roasted Marinated Beets With Vinaigrette image

I love roasted beets and am always ordering them out...but have never tried making them at home. Posting this recipe for safekeeping. Adapted from "Atlanta Cooks: 125 Recipes from 25 Top Atlanta Chefs" by Melissa Libby, this recipe is from the Floataway Cafe restaurant in the Atlanta area. Their roasted beets are the BEST. Also great paired with goat cheese in a green salad. NOTE: 2nd ingredient is for 1/4 cup raspberry vinegar...for some reason ZAAR won't let me input that ingredient.

CRUSHED BEETS WITH LEMON VINAIGRETTE



Crushed Beets with Lemon Vinaigrette image

Categories     Side     Kid-Friendly     Beet     Bon Appétit     Small Plates

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pounds mixed small or medium beets (such as Chioggia, red, and/or golden), scrubbed
6 tablespoons olive oil, divided, plus more
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons finely grated lemon zest
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup (lightly packed) fresh mint leaves, plus more
2 tablespoons torn fresh dill, plus more
1/2 cup labneh (Lebanese strained yogurt) or plain Greek yogurt
Flaky sea salt (such as Maldon)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°. Divide beets between 2 large sheets of foil. Drizzle beets on each sheet with 1/2 tablespoon oil; season with kosher salt and pepper and wrap up foil around beets. Roast on a rimmed baking sheet until tender, 40-50 minutes. Let cool slightly, then, using a paper towel, rub skins from beets (they should slip off easily). Crush beets with the bottom of a small bowl (it's alright if they fall apart).
  • Meanwhile, whisk lemon zest, lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons oil in a large bowl; set vinaigrette aside.
  • Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add beets, season with kosher salt and pepper, and cook until browned, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to bowl with vinaigrette, add 1/4 cup mint and 2 tablespoons dill, and toss to coat. Serve beets and dollops of labneh drizzled with more oil, topped with more herbs, and seasoned with pepper and sea salt.

BEET CARPACCIO WITH MINT VINAIGRETTE



Beet Carpaccio with Mint Vinaigrette image

A vegetarian alternative to beef carpaccio. This recipe wins over so many people who thought they hated beets or just never wanted to even try them. I was that person - once I actually tasted this recipe, well, I was sold and have loved beets ever since. Once beets are steamed and peeled, it is simple and easy. Beets can be prepped a day ahead and stored in a bag or container, but I personally like bringing it all together in one shot.

Categories     Salad     Vegetable Salad Recipes

Time 55m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 2-inch beets, trimmed, as evenly sized as possible
2 ounces soft fresh goat cheese, or more to taste
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
⅓ cup rice vinegar
¼ cup chopped fresh mint
¼ cup olive oil
1 teaspoon white sugar

Steps:

  • Fill a pot with 3 inches of water, insert a steamer basket, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium or medium-low and place beets inside the steamer basket. Cover pot. Cook until beets are easily pierced with a knife, checking water level periodically, 35 to 50 minutes. Remove from heat and cool, about 30 minutes.
  • Peel the beets; if you are using red and golden beets, peel the golden ones first so you don't end up turning them pink. Remove any remaining root stems. Thinly slice beets and arrange on a serving platter. I use a round plate and start in the center, alternating red and golden beet slices. Dot the top with goat cheese - you want to be able to see the beets but have enough cheese because it pairs so well with the beet. Sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper.
  • Combine rice vinegar, olive oil, mint, and sugar in a small bowl. Drizzle over beets.
