📝 Ingredients

• 6 medium-large beets ((2 bunches))
• 1 Tbsp olive oil
• Salt
• 1/3 cup goat cheese, crumbled
• 1/2 cup raw walnut halves
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs, like parsley, dill, or chives
• 2 Tbsp olive oil
• 1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
• 1.5 tsp lemon juice
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp honey
• Salt + pepper, to taste

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Preheat oven to 400F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. 2Remove greens, stems, and rough ends of beets. With a vegetable peeler, remove skins and cut into ~1-inch chunks.
3. 3In a large bowl, toss beets with olive oil and salt until evenly coated. Spread beets onto lined baking sheet, ensuring space in between each piece. Cook in the oven for 30-35 minutes, tossing once halfway through. Beets are done once they are fork-tender.
4. 4While beets cook, make balsamic dressing by adding ingredients into a small jar and shaking vigorously.
5. 5Once beets are cooked, remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes. Transfer beets to a bowl and toss with balsamic dressing. Sprinkle beets with crumbled goat cheese, walnuts, and freshly chopped herbs. Enjoy!
