Roasted Beets

Lemon Honey Vinaigrette

Method

Roasting the Beets

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beets

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash the beets thoroughly to remove any dirt. Trim the tops and roots.

  2. 2

    Season the Beets

    In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, fresh thyme, fresh rosemary, orange zest, salt, and black pepper. Toss the beets in this mixture until well coated.

  3. 3

    Roast the Beets

    Wrap each beet in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for about 45-60 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.

  4. 4

    Cool and Peel

    Once done, remove the beets from the oven and let them cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, peel the skins off using your hands or a paper towel.

  5. 5

    Slice the Beets

    Slice the roasted beets into wedges or cubes, depending on your preference.

Assembling the Salad

  1. 6

    Prepare the Base

    In a large salad bowl, place the arugula as the base.

  2. 7

    Add the Roasted Beets

    Top the arugula with the sliced roasted beets.

  3. 8

    Add Toppings

    Sprinkle the candied walnuts, crumbled goat cheese, and dried cranberries over the beets.

Making the Vinaigrette

  1. 9

    Combine Ingredients

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

  2. 10

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle the lemon honey vinaigrette over the salad just before serving. Toss gently to combine everything.
