BALSAMIC ROASTED BEET SALAD

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.

ROASTED BALSAMIC BEETS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Wash and peel the beets. Slice each beet in quarters lengthwise, and then slice each quarter into three chunks.
• Line a baking sheet with foil, and place the beets on top. Drizzle with the olive oil and vinegar, and then add salt and pepper. Gently stir to coat the beets.
• Cover with more foil and roll the edges of the two layers to create a pouch for the beets. Cook for 20 minutes.
• Remove the beets from the oven, and raise the temperature to 400 degrees. Take off the top layer of foil (watch out for steam!), and stir to mix the juices. Return to the oven and continue to cook for 35 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Serve warm or cold, or add to a salad.

ROASTED BEETS AND CARROTS WITH HONEY-BALSAMIC GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Wrap beets in aluminum foil and place in a baking dish. Toss carrots with oil and put in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
• Place beets in the preheated oven and roast for 1 hour. Add carrots to the oven and roast alongside the beets for another 30 minutes. Remove beets and set aside to cool. Check carrots to see if they are tender; roast up to 20 minutes more if necessary.
• Peel and chop beets into 1-inch pieces.
• Combine balsamic vinegar and honey in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add beets and carrots, and simmer until sauce is thickened and vegetables are glazed, 5 to 10 minutes. Serve.

ROASTED BEETS WITH BALSAMIC AND OLIVE OIL

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425°F. Cut off all but 2 inches of beet tops. Wash beets; leave whole with root ends attached.
• Place beets in ungreased 13x9-inch pan. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Drizzle with oil.
• Roast uncovered about 40 minutes or until beets are tender. Let beets cool until easy to handle, about 30 minutes. Peel beets and cut off root ends; cut beets into 1/2-inch slices.
• In medium bowl, toss beets, basil and vinegar. Serve warm or at room temperature.

HONEY-BALSAMIC GLAZED ROASTED BEETS & CARROTS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Place 20x12-inch piece of heavy duty foil on work surface; place beets in center of foil, and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Turn beets to coat in oil, then fold foil over beets, and tightly close foil to seal. Place foil-wrapped beets on rimmed baking sheet. Roast 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes or until very tender when pierced with paring knife. Carefully open foil, and transfer beets to cutting board. Reserve baking sheet. Let beets stand until cool enough to handle, about 15 minutes. Peel, then cut into wedges.
• Meanwhile, cut carrots crosswise into 3-inch pieces, then quarter or halve if thin. In medium bowl, mix carrots, remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt. Place carrots on baking sheet. Roast 20 to 25 minutes, turning once, until tender and browned on edges.
• In small microwavable bowl or measuring cup, mix balsamic vinegar, honey and pepper. Microwave uncovered on High heat 2 to 3 minutes, checking every 30 seconds after 2 minutes, until mixture is boiling and slightly thickened.
• Transfer beets to serving platter, and sprinkle with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Top with carrots. Drizzle vegetables with honey-balsamic glaze, then top with basil.

BAKED BEETS WITH BALSAMIC VINEGAR

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F
• Place each beet on a square of aluminum foil and wrap tightly.
• Place on baking sheet.
• Bake until the beets are tender when pierced with a wooden toothpick, usually 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
• Poke holes in foil to let steam escape and carefully unwrap.
• When the beets are cool enough to handle, slip off the skins.
• Slice the beets and place them in a bowl.
• Add the vinegar and salt and pepper to taste.
• Toss to combine, adding a little more vinegar if needed.
• Let stand at least 15 minutes before serving.

BEETS WITH BALSAMIC VINEGAR

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.

BEETS WITH CREAMY BALSAMIC VINAIGRETTE AND MINT

Steps:

• Wrap the garlic cloves together in a piece of parchment paper; wrap each beet separately in parchment. Place the garlic and beets in a microwave-safe dish and cook for 3 minutes. Remove the garlic and set aside, still wrapped. Continue to cook the beets in intervals of 2 minutes, until they can be easily pierced with a knife, 8 to 10 minutes. Let sit wrapped in parchment to complete the cooking process and until cool enough to handle, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the yogurt, broth, vinegar, oil and 1/8 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Peel the garlic cloves, mash completely and whisk into the vinaigrette. Season with salt and pepper. (Alternatively, make the vinaigrette with the microwave-roasted garlic up to a few hours in advance to allow the flavors to blend. Cover and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature before serving.)
• Peel the beets using a paring knife and cut into wedges or slices. Arrange on a platter, drizzle with the vinaigrette and sprinkle with the mint and pistachios. Serve immediately, while still warm.

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.
