Roasted Beets And Carrots Recipes

Steps:

• Carrots and beets are particularly good when roasted as it brings out their natural sugars. The best advice I can give you is about flavoring them. A few smashed garlic cloves, a woody herb like rosemary, thyme, sage or bay, and a splash of vinegar, or squeezed lemon or orange juice, can accentuate their natural flavor.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Put the carrots into a large pot and the beets into another, and add enough water to cover them. Season with salt and bring to a boil. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes until just tender, then drain and place in separate bowls. Peel the beets, and cut any larger carrots and beets in half or into quarters. Smaller ones can stay whole.
• Now add the flavorings while the vegetables are still hot. Toss the carrots with half the smashed garlic and a glug of olive oil, then lightly season. Add the orange juice and the thyme leaves and toss again. Mix the beets with the rest of the garlic, the rosemary, balsamic vinegar and salt and pepper. You can now put the vegetables either into separate ovenproof dishes, or together on a large roasting pan with the carrots in 1 half of the pan and the beets in the other. Place in the middle of the preheated oven and roast for around 1/2 hour or until golden.
• While the carrots and beets are cooking, lay the chops on a board and score through the skin and the streaky-looking part of the meat. This will give you lovely crackling.
• Firmly press a sage leaf onto the eye meat on both sides of each chop. Season with salt and pepper.
• When the vegetables start to color, heat a large ovenproof frying pan or small roasting pan on the burner, add a good glug of olive oil and put in the chops. As soon as you've got nice color on 1 side, turn the chops over and place the pan in the oven for 10 minutes, or until the chops are crisp on the outside and just cooked through and juicy in the middle. Remove the chops to a warmed plate. Pour most of the fat out of the pan and add a squeeze of lemon juice to it. Stir and scrape the lovely sticky bits off the bottom and drizzle all over the chops. Remove the carrots and beets from the oven - they should be nice and sticky by now. Serve them with the chops and a glass of wine.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Toss the carrots with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper on a rimmed baking sheet. Tear off 3 pieces of foil; put 2 beets on each sheet. Drizzle the beets with 1 tablespoon olive oil and wrap in the foil. Transfer the carrots and beets to the oven; bake the carrots until browned and tender, 30 to 35 minutes, and bake the beets until easily pierced with a knife, 50 minutes to 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, toast the pecans in a small dry skillet over low heat, stirring, about 5 minutes; let cool. Transfer to a food processor; add the parsley, mint, garlic, lemon zest, 2 tablespoons water, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Pulse a few times to make a paste. With the machine running, gradually add the remaining 1/3 cup olive oil and puree until smooth. Add the parmesan and pulse to combine.
• Let the beets cool slightly, then peel and cut into wedges. Transfer to a large bowl or serving dish and add the carrots and pesto; toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Peel carrots and cut diagonally into 1-2 inch thick wedges (1 inch for the thick end of the carrot, 2 inch for the thin end).
• Place in a large bowl and toss with 1/4 cup each of olive oil and balsamic vinegar, 1 tsp kosher salt, and 1 Tablespoon sugar. Set aside.

• Bake 375-400°F for one hour, uncovered, tossing each vegetable separately once during cooking.
• Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Put a rimmed baking sheet in the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Toast the wheat berries in a large dry pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, stirring often, 6 to 7 minutes. Add 8 cups water and season with salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and cook, stirring and scraping the bottom of the pot occasionally, until the wheat berries are tender but still slightly chewy, 1 hour to 1 hour 10 minutes, adding up to 1 cup more water if needed. Drain. Wipe out the pot and reserve.
• Meanwhile, place the beets on a large sheet of foil; drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Fold and crimp the edges to form a packet, leaving room for steam to circulate. Transfer the packet directly to the oven rack and roast until the beets are tender when pierced with a knife, 40 to 45 minutes. Let cool slightly, then rub off the skins with a paper towel and cut into wedges.
• Meanwhile, remove the hot baking sheet from the oven and drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the carrots and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper; toss. Roast until tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in the reserved pot over medium-high heat. Add the red onion, fennel, garlic, ginger, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft and the fennel is crisp-tender, about 6 minutes. Add the wheat berries, carrots and remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Cook, stirring, until warmed through, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the orange juice, lemon juice and all but 2 tablespoons parsley; season with salt and pepper. Stir in the beets. Sprinkle with the remaining parsley. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F. Wrap beets tightly in foil, making 2 packages, and roast in middle of oven until tender, about 1 1/4 hours.
• Toss carrots with oil and salt and pepper to taste in a shallow baking pan.
• Remove beets from oven and roast carrots in middle of oven until tender, about 20 minutes.
• While carrots are roasting, unwrap beets and, when just cool enough to handle, slip off skins and remove stems. Cut each beet into 6 wedges.
• Add beets to carrots, tossing to combine, and roast until beets are hot and carrots are very tender, about 15 minutes more.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Place 20x12-inch piece of heavy duty foil on work surface; place beets in center of foil, and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Turn beets to coat in oil, then fold foil over beets, and tightly close foil to seal. Place foil-wrapped beets on rimmed baking sheet. Roast 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes or until very tender when pierced with paring knife. Carefully open foil, and transfer beets to cutting board. Reserve baking sheet. Let beets stand until cool enough to handle, about 15 minutes. Peel, then cut into wedges.
• Meanwhile, cut carrots crosswise into 3-inch pieces, then quarter or halve if thin. In medium bowl, mix carrots, remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt. Place carrots on baking sheet. Roast 20 to 25 minutes, turning once, until tender and browned on edges.
• In small microwavable bowl or measuring cup, mix balsamic vinegar, honey and pepper. Microwave uncovered on High heat 2 to 3 minutes, checking every 30 seconds after 2 minutes, until mixture is boiling and slightly thickened.
• Transfer beets to serving platter, and sprinkle with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Top with carrots. Drizzle vegetables with honey-balsamic glaze, then top with basil.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Wrap beets in aluminum foil and place in a baking dish. Toss carrots with oil and put in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
• Place beets in the preheated oven and roast for 1 hour. Add carrots to the oven and roast alongside the beets for another 30 minutes. Remove beets and set aside to cool. Check carrots to see if they are tender; roast up to 20 minutes more if necessary.
• Peel and chop beets into 1-inch pieces.
• Combine balsamic vinegar and honey in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add beets and carrots, and simmer until sauce is thickened and vegetables are glazed, 5 to 10 minutes. Serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F
• Wrap each beet tightly in foil. Bake 1 hour 15 minute
• Meanwhile, peel carrots; cut diagonally into 3/4-inch-thick slices. (You should have about 4 cups carrot slices.)
• Remove beets from oven; cool. Meanwhile, place carrots in large shallow baking dish. Drizzle with oil; toss to coat. Bake 30 minute
• Unwrap beets; remove and discard skins and stems. Cut each beet into eight wedges. Add to carrots along with the combined dressing and ginger; toss to coat. Bake an additional 15 minute or until vegetables are tender.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400º F.
• Place the beets in a small ovenproof pan with a little water; cover tightly with foil. Roast for 50 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the size of the beets. Test with a fork for tenderness. Cool, then cut off the stem ends and slip off the skins. Cut in half or in bite-size pieces; keep them warm until carrots are roasted.
• Carrots will cook in less time than the beets. In a separate baking pan, coat them with the olive oil and roast for 15 to 25 minutes, depending on their size, until fork-tender. Combine beets and carrots with melted butter and juice; add salt and pepper and sprinkle with chopped dill.

Steps:

• For the garlic chips: Set a paper towel on a plate to drain the garlic. Take a cast-iron skillet, fill with approximately 1 to 1 1/2 inches of oil and set over high heat. Once the oil is hot and bubbly, add the garlic slices quickly, and gently stir so they don't stick together. Cook for approximately 30 seconds. Remove using a slotted spoon or handled strainer once they are light golden brown, and place on the paper towel-lined plate to cool and drain. Work in small batches to avoid the chips over-cooking and sticking together. If the color is still too light and the garlic chips don't have a small amount of crunch, repeat the process and leave in the oil about 10 to 15 seconds; remove and drain. Make these ahead and keep in an airtight container for up to a week.
• For the smashed beets and carrots: Wash and scrub the beets and carrots as necessary to remove any dirt; do not peel.
• Take a large pot and place the beets inside with the olive oil, red wine vinegar and bay leaves. Add cold water to cover the tops of the beets. Place over medium to medium-high heat and cook until the beets are tender when pierced with a fork, 25 to 40 minutes depending on the size of the beets. Drain and set aside to cool.
• When cool enough to handle, press down gently on each beet using the palm of your hand until flattened. Lay the smashed beets on a baking pan, toss with grapeseed oil and season with salt and pepper.
• Toss the carrots with some grapeseed oil, salt and pepper in a separate bowl.
• Heat a large griddle or cast-iron pan with some grapeseed oil over medium-high heat. Place the carrots and smashed beets on the griddle, lower the heat to medium and cook until brown on the bottom and the edges caramelize, 15 to 20 minutes. Then flip and repeat until the carrots are tender and the beets are caramelized and brown on the edges.
• Transfer the carrots and beets to a large bowl. Check for seasoning and adjust with salt and pepper as needed. Drizzle with some good-quality olive oil to finish, and toss in the garlic chips and thyme.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Place the beets in a large mixing bowl, and the carrots in a 9 inch by 13 inch glass baking dish. (Mixing the roots separately keeps the carrots from turning pink from beet juice.).
• Place the butter or ghee in a microwave-safe coffee mug and add the garlic. Microwave until the butter is melted. Stir in the dried rosemary.
• Pour half of the melted butter mixture over the beets, and pour half over the carrots. Sprinkle generously with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Toss each of the root vegetables to coat them with the butter mixture.
• Dump the beets into the baking dish with the carrots.
• Roast for 55 minutes, stirring halfway through.
• Serve.
