Roasted Beets With Parsley Recipes

ROASTED BEETS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• Remove the tops and the roots of the beets and peel each one with a vegetable peeler. Cut the beets in 1 1/2-inch chunks. (Small beets can be halved, medium ones cut in quarters, and large beets cut in eighths.)
• Place the cut beets on a baking sheet and toss with the olive oil, thyme leaves, salt, and pepper. Roast for 35 to 40 minutes, turning once or twice with a spatula, until the beets are tender. Remove from the oven and immediately toss with the vinegar and orange juice. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and serve warm.

SIMPLE ROASTED BEETS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Cut off the leafy tops of the beets, leaving about 1/2 inch of stem, and reserve them for another use. Wash the beets well to remove all of the sand.
• Toss the beets with the oil, 1 tablespoon water, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Transfer the beets to a large piece of foil, add the herb sprig if using and wrap the foil up into a packet. Put the packet on a baking sheet and roast until fork-tender, 40 to 50 minutes depending on the size of the beets. Carefully open the packet, watching out for steam. Let the beets cool for 5 minutes, then peel while still warm by rubbing off the skins with paper towels.
• Slice and dress the beets as desired and serve.

ROASTED BEETS WITH FETA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Wrap each beet individually in aluminum foil, and place onto a baking sheet.
• Bake beets in preheated oven until easily pierced with a fork, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Once done, remove from oven, and allow to cool until you can handle them. Peel beets, and cut into 1/4 inch slices.
• While the beets are roasting, whisk together shallot, parsley, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and red wine vinegar in a bowl until blended; season to taste with salt and pepper, and set aside.
• To assemble the dish, place the warm, sliced beets onto a serving dish, pour vinaigrette over the beets, and sprinkle with feta cheese before serving.

BEET NOODLES WITH PARSLEY PESTO AND PARMESAN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Toss beet noodles with 1 tablespoon oil; season with salt and pepper. Arrange in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet and roast until just tender, about 10 minutes.
• In a food processor, puree parsley, walnuts, cheese, garlic, remaining 2 tablespoons oil, and 1 to 2 tablespoons water until creamy. Season with salt and pepper.
• Transfer noodles to a serving platter. Dollop with parsley pesto and serve, with more grated cheese.

ROASTED BEETS WITH PARSLEY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 475°F.
• Trim beets, leaving about 1 inch of stems attached. Wrap beets tightly in double layers of foil to make 3 packages and roast until tender, about 1 hour.
• When beets are cool enough to handle, slip off skins and stems and cut each beet into about 6 wedges. Beets may be prepared up to this point 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Transfer beets to a baking dish and cover with foil. Reduce temperature to 375°F. and reheat beets until heated through, about 20 minutes.
• While beets are reheating, put parsley in a small bowl and with kitchen shears very coarsely snip.
• Toss beets with butter, parsley, and salt and pepper to taste.

ROASTED BEETS WITH PINE NUTS AND PARMESAN

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400.
• Wash 2 pounds beets, wrap each in foil and put on a baking sheet.
• Roast until a knife pierces each with little resistance, 45 to 90 minutes.
• When the beets are cool enough to handle, peel, and cut into chunks; toss with pine nuts, shaved Parmesan, lemon juice, olive oil.
• Garnish: Parsley.

ITALIAN PARSLEY AND BEET SALAD

Steps:

• Whisk together juices, oil, and 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper in a large bowl.
• Trim beets, leaving 1 inch of stems attached, then peel.
• Using stems as a handle, slice beets paper-thin (less than 1/8 inch thick) with slicer (wear protective gloves to avoid staining hands), then cut slices into very thin matchsticks.
• Thinly slice onion with slicer.
• Toss beets, onion, and parsley with dressing and season with salt. Let stand, tossing occasionally, 30 minutes to soften beets and allow flavors to develop.
• Toss again and season with salt and pepper before serving drizzled with additional oil.
