linaelynMy favorite booth-guys at the local farmer's market had a surplus of golden beets today, and they were practically giving them away. I've never tried them before, and my experience with beets is pretty much limited to grandma's home-canned pickled beets and those purple slivers in the salad bar.
So I figured, no vegetable suffers much from oven-roasting in olive oil, right?
1 lb. golden beets, peeled & sliced into 1 cm discs.
3 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil (enough to coat well)
salt to taste
grated nutmeg
Preheat oven to 425ºF. Toss sliced beets with the olive oil and arrange in a single layer on a cookie sheet or roasting pan. Sprinkle with salt and grate the nutmeg over it to taste. Roast in the top rack of the oven for 20 minutes. NOM WITH GREAT DELIGHT.
