Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Wrap the beets individually in aluminum foil and place them on a sheet pan. Roast them for 50 minutes to 1 hour, depending on their size, until a small sharp knife inserted in the middle indicates that they are tender. Unwrap each beet and set aside for 10 minutes, until cool enough to handle. Peel the beets with a small, sharp knife over a piece of parchment paper to prevent staining your cutting board.
- Meanwhile, whisk together the vinegar, olive oil, mustard, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper and set aside. While the beets are still warm, cut each one in half and then each half into 4 to 6 wedges and place them in a large mixing bowl. As you're cutting the beets, toss them with half of the vinaigrette (warm beets absorb more vinaigrette), 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Taste for seasonings.
- Place the arugula in a separate bowl and toss it with enough vinaigrette to moisten. Put the arugula on a serving platter and then arrange the beets, almonds, and goat cheese on top. Drizzle with additional vinaigrette, if desired, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and serve warm or at room temperature.

PINEAPPLE BEETS
This is a special way to dress up beets. Paired with pineapple, they have a slightly sweet taste that has even people who don't usually like beets taking second helpings. -Bernice Morris, Marshfield, Missouri

Steps:
- 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- 2. Trim the beets, leaving on the skin, an inch of the stem, and the wispy "tail" on the bottom of each, then scrub and drain. Place the beets in a small casserole dish just big enough to hold them. Pour the water and canola oil over the beets then cover tightly with a lid or aluminum foil and bake until tender and easily pierced with a sharp paring knife, about 1 1/2 hours.
- 3. Remove the casserole from the oven and uncover the beets, keeping your face averted from the escaping steam. Allow the beets to cool completely in the casserole.
- 4. Meanwhile, combine the vinegar, 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, the salt, and pepper in a medium-size bowl and whisk to blend. Taste and add more olive oil, if desired.
- 5. Peel the cooled beets with the back of a paring knife and cut into 3/8-inch slices. Add to the dressing in the bowl and toss gently but thoroughly to coat. Serve immediately or marinate, in the refrigerator, for up to 24 hours.

BALSAMIC-GLAZED BEETS
Steps:
- In a large saucepan cover beets with salted water by 1 inch. Simmer beets, covered, 35 to 45 minutes, or until tender, and drain in a colander. Cool beets until they can be handled and slip off skins and stems. Cut beets lengthwise into wedges. Beets may be prepared up to this point 2 days ahead and chilled, covered. Bring beets to room temperature before proceeding.
- In a large skillet stir together vinegar, syrup or honey, and oil and add beets. Cook beet mixture with salt and pepper to taste over moderate heat, stirring, until heated through and coated well. Sprinkle about half of thyme over beets and toss gently.
- Serve beets sprinkled with remaining thyme.
Tips:
- Choose the Right Beets: Select firm, medium-sized beets with smooth skin and no blemishes.
- Prepare the Beets Properly: Trim the beetroots, leaving about 1 inch of the stem intact. Scrub the beets thoroughly to remove any dirt.
- Cook the Beets Until Tender: You can boil, steam, or roast the beets until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Use Fresh Pineapple: Fresh pineapple adds a vibrant flavor to this dish. If you don't have fresh pineapple, you can use canned pineapple tidbits, but be sure to drain them well.
- Make the Dressing Ahead of Time: The balsamic dressing can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
- Serve Warm or Cold: This dish can be served warm or cold, depending on your preference.
Conclusion:
Balsamic beets and pineapple is a delicious and healthy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The beets are tender and flavorful, the pineapple adds a touch of sweetness, and the balsamic dressing brings it all together. This dish is also very easy to make, so it's a great option for busy weeknights. Whether you serve it warm or cold, this dish is sure to be a hit!
