Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beets

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and trim the beet roots, removing any greens. Wrap each beet in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet.

  2. 2

    Roast the Beets

    Roast the beets in the preheated oven for about 45-60 minutes, or until they can be easily pierced with a fork. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly.

  3. 3

    Make Walnut Butter

    In a skillet over medium heat, toast the walnuts for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently until fragrant. Allow to cool, then blend the toasted walnuts with unsalted butter until smooth. Season with salt and black pepper.

  4. 4

    Peel and Slice Beets

    Once the beets are cool enough to handle, unwrap them from the foil and peel off the skins. Slice the beets into wedges.

  5. 5

    Plate the Dish

    Arrange the beet wedges on a serving platter. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper. Dollop crème fraîche on top and add spoonfuls of walnut butter. Garnish with chopped chives.
