Roasted Beets

Meyer Lemon Citronette

Method

Roasting the Beets

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beets

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash the fresh beets thoroughly and trim the tops and tails. Wrap each beet individually in aluminum foil.

  2. 2

    Roast the Beets

    Place the wrapped beets on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for about 45-60 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork. Allow to cool slightly, then peel and cut into wedges.

  3. 3

    Season the Beets

    In a bowl, combine the roasted beet wedges with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.

    Prepare the Fennel and Mandarins

    Thinly slice the fennel bulb and segment the mandarin oranges, removing any seeds.

  2. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced fennel, mandarin segments, and fresh mint leaves.

  3. 6

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and black pepper. Toss gently to combine.

Making the Spiced Labneh

  1. 7

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, and salt. Stir until well mixed.

  2. 8

    Drizzle with Olive Oil

    Transfer the labneh to a serving bowl and drizzle with olive oil before serving.

Preparing the Meyer Lemon Citronette

  1. 9

    Combine Ingredients

    In a small bowl, whisk together Meyer lemon juice, olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
