Steps:
- Put 2 pounds beets in a baking dish lined with a large sheet of aluminum foil. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 3 tablespoons water and 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Bring the foil edges together; fold to seal. Roast at 325 degrees F until tender, 45 minutes for small beets and up to 2 hours, 30 minutes for large ones. Let cool. Peel the beets; cut into cubes. Whisk the juice of 1 lemon, 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a bowl; whisk in 3 tablespoons olive oil. Toss with the beets.
- TIP: Roasting beets intensifies their sweet, earthy flavor. All they need is a simple vinaigrette.

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.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Trim stems off beets and place them onto the middle of a large piece of aluminum foil.

Bake beets in foil package on a sheet pan for 45 minutes to an hour at 400 degrees F, until tender. Remove from oven and carefully open up foil package and let cool.
- When cool to the touch, wrap one beet at a time in paper towels and rub skin off. Repeat with remaining beets. This may stain your hands red unless you wear gloves. Cut peeled beets into chunks and place in a mixing bowl. In a small container with a tight fitting lid, combine olive oil, thyme, lemon juice, lemon zest and some salt and pepper. Close container and shake vigorously. Pour dressing over beets and toss to coat. Serve immediately or cover and keep in fridge until ready to serve.

BEET SALAD WITH LEMON DRESSING
I was looking for a recipe for pickled beets and saw one with lemon instead of vinegar. I immediately thought of making a tabbouleh-inspired salad with beets instead of tomatoes. -Ann Sheehy, Lawrence, Massachusetts

ROASTED MARINATED BEETS WITH VINAIGRETTE
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.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place washed beets in a deep roasting pan. Fill pan halfway up the beets with water. Add vinegar, butter, honey, salt and pepper. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and roast for 2-3 hours, or until a knife goes easily into a beet's center. Remove from oven and remove beets from cooking liquid. Wearing gloves, peel off the exterior skin of the beets and dice.
- For the vinaigrette, place vinegar and honey in a bowl and whisk together. Add shallots and, while slowly whisking, add the grape-seed oil in a thin stream. Season with salt and pepper and toss with the warm, peeled and diced beets.
- *The beets will be even better the second day.

Tips:
- Choose small to medium-sized beets for even cooking and a more tender texture.
- Scrub the beets thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris, but don't peel them, as the skin helps to retain their vibrant color and nutrients.
- Toss the beets in olive oil and season them with salt and pepper before roasting. This will help them to caramelize and develop a delicious flavor.
- Roast the beets at a high temperature (425°F or 220°C) for about 45-60 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Allow the beets to cool slightly before peeling and slicing them. This will make them easier to handle and prevent them from staining your hands.
- For the lemon vinaigrette, use a good quality olive oil and fresh lemon juice. You can also add herbs such as basil, thyme, or oregano for extra flavor.
- Serve the roasted beets warm or at room temperature. They can be enjoyed as a side dish, salad, or appetizer.
Conclusion:
Roasted beets are a delicious and nutritious side dish that can be enjoyed all year round. They are easy to make and can be paired with a variety of dishes. The lemon vinaigrette adds a bright and tangy flavor to the beets, making them even more irresistible. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful side dish, give roasted beets with lemon vinaigrette a try!
