Roasted Beets with Orange Gremolata and Goat Cheese
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 25 min. Bake: 55 min. + cooling
YIELD: 12 servings.
My grandma always grew beets then pickled or canned them, but I prefer to prepare them differently. I love these roasted beets in the winter but they can be enjoyed all year with the addition of fresh herbs and tangy goat cheese. —Courtney Archibeque, Greeley, Colorado

3 medium fresh golden beets (about 1 pound)
-
3 medium fresh beets (about 1 pound)

2 tablespoons lime juice

2 tablespoons orange juice

1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt

Directions

1.
Preheat oven to 400°. Scrub beets and trim tops by 1 in. Place beets on a double thickness of heavy-duty foil (about 24x12 in.). Fold foil around beets, sealing tightly. Place on a baking sheet. Roast until tender, 55-65 minutes. Open foil carefully to allow steam to escape.

When cool enough to handle, peel, halve and slice beets; place in a serving bowl. Add lime juice, orange juice and salt; toss to coat. Combine parsley, sage, garlic and orange zest; sprinkle over beets. Top with goat cheese and sunflower kernels. Serve warm or chilled.
