Use any whole spices you like for this beets recipe; just make sure you sizzle them in oil first to bring out their flavor.

Yield Makes about 5 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 pounds red beets (about 6 medium), scrubbed
1/3 cup olive oil
2 teaspoons coriander, mustard, fennel, caraway, and/or cumin seeds
2 dried bay leaves
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Place beets in a shallow baking dish and add water until it reaches about 1/2" up the sides of the beets. Cover with foil, crimping edges to make a tight seal. Bake beets until a skewer poked through foil easily pierces flesh, 65-75 minutes. Remove from oven, uncover, and let sit until cool enough to handle.
  • Using paper towels (if you have gloves, wear them to keep your hands stain-free), rub skins to remove; discard. Lightly crush beets with the flat side of a chef's knife, then tear into bite-size pieces and place in a large bowl.
  • Heat oil, spices, and bay leaves in a small skillet over medium and cook, swirling often, until oil is sizzling around spices and spices are fragrant, about 3 minutes. Pour over beets, add vinegar, and toss to combine. Season with salt. Let cool.
  • Do Ahead
  • Beets can be marinated 5 days ahead. Cover and chill.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my beets turned out dry and tough. Maybe I overcooked them?
