Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Roast the Beets

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and trim the beets, then wrap them in aluminum foil. Place them on a baking sheet and roast for about 45-60 minutes, or until fork-tender. Let them cool, then peel the skin off.

  2. 2

    Prepare Whipped Ricotta

    In a bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, walnut oil, salt, and black pepper. Use a fork or a hand mixer to whip the mixture until smooth and creamy.

  3. 3

    Toast the Walnuts

    In a dry pan over medium heat, toast the walnuts for about 5-7 minutes until fragrant and lightly browned, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and let cool.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Dish

    Slice the roasted beets and arrange them on a plate. Spoon the whipped ricotta over the beets, sprinkle with toasted walnuts, and drizzle with additional walnut oil. Garnish with fresh herbs.
