Roasted Beets beets are a surprisingly popular vegetable in France. In fact, every grocery store, produce purveyor, and street market carries packages of peeled, cooked beets for French cooks to use as is. Most recipes I've seen require you to cook the beets before removing the tough outer skins, but it's so messy peeling all those hot --red--beets. I discovered that if you peel them like carrots before roasting it's so much easier!
12 beets 3 tablespoons good olive oil 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves, minced 2 teaspoons kosher salt 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 2 tablespoons raspberry vinegar Juice of 1 large orange Remove the tops and the roots of the beets and peel each one with a vegetable peeler. Cut the beets in 1 1/2-inch chunks. (Small beets can be halved, medium ones cut in quarters, and large beets cut in eighths.) Place the cut beets on a baking sheet and toss with the olive oil, thyme leaves, salt and pepper. Roast for 35 to 40 minutes, turning once or twice with a spatula, until the beets are tender, Remove from the oven and immediately toss with the vinegar and orange juice. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and serve warm.
