Roasted Beets With Snails On Toast Food

BEET TOAST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Wrap the beets in foil individually. Roast until the beets are tender, about 1 hour. Let cool.
• Working over a bowl, segment the blood oranges: Cut away the peel and white pith using a sharp knife, leaving the blood orange flesh exposed, then gently cut between the membranes to release each orange segment into the bowl, catching the juices.
• Peel the beets. Cut each beet in half lengthwise with a sharp knife. Cut each half lengthwise into 4 or 5 wedges and toss in a bowl along with the tarragon, shallot and half the orange juice.
• Preheat the broiler on high. Cut four 1-inch-thick slices of bread. Brush each piece of bread with oil and sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper on each side. Broil until golden, 2 minutes per side.
• Spread cream cheese on one side of each slice of bread. Spoon the beet mixture evenly on top of the cream cheese. Top with blood orange segments, cherry tomatoes and a drizzle of olive oil, then garnish with extra tarragon. Sprinkle with salt to taste. Enjoy!

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.

CREAMY BEET TOAST

Steps:

• Toss 3 sliced roasted small beets with 2 tablespoons each sherry vinegar and olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Spread cashew cream cheese on 4 slices multigrain toast. Top with the beets, toasted sesame seeds, chopped chives and salt.

BEETS WITH GREENS AND RICOTTA ON TOAST

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Scrub beets and arrange on parchment-lined foil. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with coffee; season with salt and pepper. Wrap tightly and place on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast until easily pierced with the tip of a knife, about 1 hour. Let cool completely; remove skins and slice beets.
• In a large skillet, heat oil over medium. Add garlic; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add beet greens and stems, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until wilted and tender, 2 to 4 minutes.
• Spread ricotta over toasts and top with greens, then beets. Season with salt and pepper, drizzle with oil, and serve, with lemon wedges.
