Roasted Beets And Shallots Food

ROASTED BEETS WITH SHALLOT & MUSTARD VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200 C / 400 F.
• Peel the beets (I do this under running water or you can use some gloves) and cut off the hard ends. Cut them into small wedges (about 6-8 per beet) and I suggest doing it on a piece of baking paper over a chopping board as to not stain the wood.
• Transfer the beets to a bowl and toss with olive oil, cumin and salt. Transfer onto a flat baking sheet lined with baking paper or grease with olive oil. Roast for 45 minutes, rotating the tray and flipping the beets over half way.
• In the meantime, prepare the dressing by mixing all of the ingredients in a bowl. Set aside to marinate.
• If using raw almonds, you can then also toast those in a pan or in the oven at the same time.
• Once cooked, transfer the beets to a large plate and drizzle all over with the shallot dressing. You can use half, to begin with, and serve the rest on the table. Sprinkle with crushed nuts and chopped herbs.

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.

ROASTED BEET SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Set the beets on a baking sheet lined with a two layers of aluminum foil. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and then wrap the beets in the first layer of foil. Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and roast until the beets are fork tender, about 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, place shallots in a small bowl, drizzle with another 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper; toss well. After the beets have roasted for 45 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven and carefully place the shallots directly on the second layer of aluminum foil. Return to the oven for another 15 minutes, until the shallots are caramelized and soft and the beets are fully cooked.
• Let the beets cool in the foil for at least 5 minutes. Transfer the shallots to a large bowl and set aside. When the beets are cool enough to handle, use a paper towel to rub off the skins. Cut the beets into wedges and add them to the bowl with the shallots.
• Trim the tops and bottoms off the oranges with a paring knife or a small serrated knife. Set the oranges on one of the cut ends and carefully cut away the skins, beginning at the top and following the curve of the fruit down to the bottom. Slice the oranges crosswise into thin slices. Set aside.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, sugar, mustard, some salt and pepper, and the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil. Pour the dressing over the beets and shallots; toss to combine. Add the mixed greens and the orange slices; toss again. Sprinkle with sunflower seeds.

ROASTED BEETS AND SHALLOTS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Place beets and shallots in a large bowl. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, and season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Toss well, and transfer vegetables to a large roasting pan.
• Cover pan with foil, and place in oven. Bake until beets are tender when pierced with a knife, 50 to 60 minutes.
• Remove from oven, and let stand until cool enough to handle. Peel beets and shallots, and cut beets into 1-inch pieces. Combine in a serving bowl. Add sherry vinegar, remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper, and toss well to combine. Serve immediately, or set aside until ready to serve.

BEET SALAD WITH PICKLED MUSHROOMS AND CARAMELIZED SHALLOTS

Steps:

• Place beets in a large pot. Pour in cold water to cover; season with salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, 40-60 minutes. Drain and let beets cool. Slip skins off with your hands (wear gloves to avoid staining if you have them) and slice into wedges. Place in a large bowl.
• Meanwhile, heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet over high. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and crisp, about 6 minutes.
• Whisk vinegar, honey, garlic, 1/4 cup oil, and remaining 1 1/2 tsp. salt in a small bowl. Add mushrooms to dressing and let sit to pickle at least 30 minutes.
• Wipe out skillet. Heat remaining 2 Tbsp. oil in skillet over medium-high. Add shallots and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and tender, about 4 minutes. Let cool.
• Pour dressing off mushrooms over beets in bowl. Add tarragon and toss to coat. Top with shallots and pickled mushrooms; season with pepper.
• Do Ahead: Beets can be boiled 2 days ahead. Do not peel; cover and chill. Dressing can be made and mushrooms pickled 1 day ahead; cover and chill separately.

ROASTED BEETS AND CARROTS

Steps:

• Peel carrots and cut diagonally into 1-2 inch thick wedges (1 inch for the thick end of the carrot, 2 inch for the thin end).
• Place in a large bowl and toss with 1/4 cup each of olive oil and balsamic vinegar, 1 tsp kosher salt, and 1 Tablespoon sugar. Set aside.
• Peel beets, slice into cubes approximately 1-2 inches square.
• Spray baking pan with nonstick spray.
• Mix carrots one more time, then empty gently into half of baking pan.
• Move beets to bowl, toss gently with remaining oil, vinegar, salt and sugar.
• Let stand 2-3 minutes, then toss one more time before transferring to other half of baking pan.
• Bake 375-400°F for one hour, uncovered, tossing each vegetable separately once during cooking.
• Serve immediately.

ROASTED BEETS WITH GOAT CHEESE, PINENUTS AND FRIED SHALLOTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400º F.
• If the greens are attached to the beetroot, remove and discard. Place the beets in a roasting pan and rub with olive oil and sprinkle heavily with salt. Pour 1/2 cup of water into the bottom of the pan and cover with foil. Roast for about 1 hour, or until the beets are tender (a small knife should pass easily through the center of each beet). When the beets are cooked through remove them from the oven and allow them to cool in the covered roasting pan. The natural steam in the roasting pan will help loosen the skin of the beets making it easy to peel after they have cooled slightly. While still warm, peel the beets by rubbing off the skin with paper towels. Cut and reserve the peeled beets in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
• In a small sauce pot, heat oil to 350˚F.
• Place shallots on a paper towel and lightly salt. Allow shallots to stand for 5 minutes. Using another paper towel, blot the shallots while pressing them to make little rings. Once dry, lightly flour. Drop into oil and fry until golden and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon onto a paper towel lined plate.
• Place beets, nectarines and pine nuts in a bowl and reserve.
• In a separate bowl, make the vinaigrette by adding the verjus, vinegar, mustard and a pinch of salt. Mix well and slowly add the olive oil. Pour over beet mixture and mix well.
• Transfer salad to a serving platter. Garnish with goat cheese and fried shallots.

BAKED BEETS & SHALLOTS

Steps:

• Pre heat oven to 375F degrees.
• Place beets& shallots in a 9x13" oven proof dish.
• In a bowl whisk together oil, wine, thyme, pepper flakes, salt& pepper.
• Pour over the beets and shallots, toss until evenly coated.
• Cover dish with foil and bake for 1 hour.
• Remove from oven.
• Combine honey and vinegar and drizzle over the beets, toss veggies.
• Bake uncovered for another 15 minutes until the beets are glazed and tender.
• Adjust seasonings if necessary.
• Sprinkle with the chopped green onion.

GABY'S ROASTED BEETS AND LABNEH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Scrub and trim the beets and slice them into wedges (about 1/2 to 3/4-inch thick on the widest edge). Toss the beets and shallots with the olive oil and season with the red pepper flakes (go easy on the flakes if you're sensitive to spice), salt and pepper. Transfer the seasoned beets and shallots to the prepared baking sheet (it's ok if they overlap) and roast for 40 to 50 minutes, until fork tender. Remove from the oven and set aside to come to room temperature.
• To make the basil vinaigrette: In a high-powered blender or food processor, combine the shallot, basil, garlic, red pepper flakes, olive oil, red wine vinegar, and salt. Blend for 1 minute, or until very smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Spread the labneh on a large platter, dollop with basil vinaigrette, and scatter with the beets and avocado wedges. Sprinkle with fresh mint leaves, dill, and flaky salt (don't hold back) and serve.

ROASTED BEETS WITH GOAT CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Rub beets with a little olive oil and wrap them in foil. Cook for 45-60 minutes, or until beets are tender enough to insert a fork easily. Remove from oven and let them cool. You can also boil the beets for 25-30 minutes or until they are tender.
• While beets are cooking, toast almonds in a dry pan for 5-7 minutes. Be careful to toss them occasionally so they don't burn. Remove from heat.
• When beets are cool enough to handle, use a knife to peel the outer skin. Dice the beets into bite size pieces.
• Place salad greens into 4 dishes. Top with diced beets, goat cheese and toasted almonds. (If you toss the salad after this step, everything will turn purple!)
• Drizzle with Roasted Shallot Vinaigrette. Garnish with parsley, chives, or green onions. Enjoy!

ROASTED BEET, SHALLOT AND PECAN SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F. Brush large baking sheet with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil. Place beets on prepared baking sheet and roast beets 30 minutes. Add shallots to same sheet. Sprinkle beets and shallots with salt and pepper and roast 30 minutes. Push beets and shallots away from 1 corner of sheet and scatter pecans in corner. Roast beets, shallots and pecans until vegetables are tender and pecans are golden brown, about 6 minutes. Cool vegetables and pecans to room temperature, about 15 minutes.
• Whisk remaining 6 tablespoons olive oil, vinegar and garlic in small bowl to blend. Season dressing to taste with salt and pepper.
• Transfer pecans and shallots to large bowl and add lettuce. Peel and slice beets; add to salad. Toss salad with enough dressing to coat. Sprinkle with Gorgonzola cheese and serve.

ROASTED PEAR & BEET SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400. Trim, peel and cut beets in half. Drizzle half the olive oil in the bottom of a roasting pan. Place the beet halves in the pan, halve side up, and roast for about 15-25 minutes, until the beets begin to soften slightly. Add the pear halves, half side down and turn over the beets. Rub the pears on the beet juice to stain them slightly. Roast for another 15-20 minutes. Once they are all fork tender, remove from the pan to cool slightly. Whisk together the balsamic, shallots, agave, salt and pepper. Drizzle and whisk in the remaining olive oil. Thinly slice the beets and pears. Arrange the spinach on individual plates. Place the beets and pears on top of the spinach, toss on the walnuts, cheese and drizzle the top with the dressing.

WINTER LETTUCE SALAD WITH ROASTED BEETS AND SHALLOT SHERRY VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Fit the beets snugly into a pie plate or casserole pan and pour in enough water to cover the beets by one-third. Scatter some salt over the top and cover tightly with tin foil. Bake until soft but not falling apart, 30 to 40 minutes, depending on size and density. Check them with a fork for doneness.
• Combine the lettuces in a salad bowl. The mix of the bitter radicchio and the heartier escarole is not only physically gorgeous, but it tastes great too!
• Cut the ends off both oranges, and then cut the peel off in a downward motion all the way around. Save the peels, as you will use the juice in them for the dressing. Thinly slice the oranges and toss into the lettuces.
• Let the beets cool before peeling. I like to cut them into quarters, and then slices from there because I like the look, but any reasonable bite-size slice works. Toss them into the salad.
• For the shallot sherry dressing: Put the shallots into a container with a tight-fitting lid so you can really shake it for all its worth-hand emulsifying, if you will.
• Add the sugar and a good pinch salt, followed by the olive oil, vinegar and any juice that you can squeeze out of the orange peels left over. Cover the container and really shake it so it becomes completely combined and cloudy. Taste for balance; you want it to be balanced between sweet and tart, so if it needs more salt or sugar, feel free to add it.
• Dress the salad, toss with (clean!!) hands, grind a couple of grinds of pepper over it and serve.

ROASTED BEETS WITH SHALLOTS, RED WINE GLAZE, GORGONZOLA AND WALNUTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Toss beets with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Place in a roasting pan or baking dish and add 1/2 cup water. Cover with aluminum foil and roast for 45 minutes.
• Toss the shallots with 1 tablespoon olive oil and spread over the top of the beets. Cover and roast 30 minutes or until the beets can be easily pierced with a paring knife. Let cool to the touch.
• Peel and quarter the beets or if large, cut into 6-8 wedges.
• Combine the wine, vegetable broth, balsamic vinegar and sugar in a skillet or shallow saucepan large enough to hold the beets and shallots. Bring to a boil, reduce to low and let reduce by 1/2.
• Place the beets and shallots in the saucepan with the glaze and continue simmering until heated through and a nice glaze forms, approximately 8-10 minutes, stirring to coat the vegetables. Season to taste with salt and black pepper.
• Transfer the beets and shallots to a serving bowl. Pour any remaining glaze over the vegetables. Sprinkle with Gorgonzola cheese and walnuts. Serve immediately.
