Roasted Beets And Shallots Recipes

ROASTED BEET SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Set the beets on a baking sheet lined with a two layers of aluminum foil. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and then wrap the beets in the first layer of foil. Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and roast until the beets are fork tender, about 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, place shallots in a small bowl, drizzle with another 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper; toss well. After the beets have roasted for 45 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven and carefully place the shallots directly on the second layer of aluminum foil. Return to the oven for another 15 minutes, until the shallots are caramelized and soft and the beets are fully cooked.
• Let the beets cool in the foil for at least 5 minutes. Transfer the shallots to a large bowl and set aside. When the beets are cool enough to handle, use a paper towel to rub off the skins. Cut the beets into wedges and add them to the bowl with the shallots.
• Trim the tops and bottoms off the oranges with a paring knife or a small serrated knife. Set the oranges on one of the cut ends and carefully cut away the skins, beginning at the top and following the curve of the fruit down to the bottom. Slice the oranges crosswise into thin slices. Set aside.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, sugar, mustard, some salt and pepper, and the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil. Pour the dressing over the beets and shallots; toss to combine. Add the mixed greens and the orange slices; toss again. Sprinkle with sunflower seeds.

ROASTED BEETS AND SHALLOTS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Place beets and shallots in a large bowl. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, and season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Toss well, and transfer vegetables to a large roasting pan.
• Cover pan with foil, and place in oven. Bake until beets are tender when pierced with a knife, 50 to 60 minutes.
• Remove from oven, and let stand until cool enough to handle. Peel beets and shallots, and cut beets into 1-inch pieces. Combine in a serving bowl. Add sherry vinegar, remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper, and toss well to combine. Serve immediately, or set aside until ready to serve.

ROASTED BEETS WITH FETA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Wrap each beet individually in aluminum foil, and place onto a baking sheet.
• Bake beets in preheated oven until easily pierced with a fork, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Once done, remove from oven, and allow to cool until you can handle them. Peel beets, and cut into 1/4 inch slices.
• While the beets are roasting, whisk together shallot, parsley, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and red wine vinegar in a bowl until blended; season to taste with salt and pepper, and set aside.
• To assemble the dish, place the warm, sliced beets onto a serving dish, pour vinaigrette over the beets, and sprinkle with feta cheese before serving.

WINTER LETTUCE SALAD WITH ROASTED BEETS AND SHALLOT SHERRY VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Fit the beets snugly into a pie plate or casserole pan and pour in enough water to cover the beets by one-third. Scatter some salt over the top and cover tightly with tin foil. Bake until soft but not falling apart, 30 to 40 minutes, depending on size and density. Check them with a fork for doneness.
• Combine the lettuces in a salad bowl. The mix of the bitter radicchio and the heartier escarole is not only physically gorgeous, but it tastes great too!
• Cut the ends off both oranges, and then cut the peel off in a downward motion all the way around. Save the peels, as you will use the juice in them for the dressing. Thinly slice the oranges and toss into the lettuces.
• Let the beets cool before peeling. I like to cut them into quarters, and then slices from there because I like the look, but any reasonable bite-size slice works. Toss them into the salad.
• For the shallot sherry dressing: Put the shallots into a container with a tight-fitting lid so you can really shake it for all its worth-hand emulsifying, if you will.
• Add the sugar and a good pinch salt, followed by the olive oil, vinegar and any juice that you can squeeze out of the orange peels left over. Cover the container and really shake it so it becomes completely combined and cloudy. Taste for balance; you want it to be balanced between sweet and tart, so if it needs more salt or sugar, feel free to add it.
• Dress the salad, toss with (clean!!) hands, grind a couple of grinds of pepper over it and serve.

BALSAMIC BEETROOT & SHALLOTS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Put the beetroot in a roasting tin and toss through the oil and some seasoning. Roast for 15 mins.
• Toss the shallots and thyme with the beetroot, and roast for 40-45 mins until the veg are tender and starting to caramelise around the edges. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar and return to the oven for 3-5 mins until sticky and syrupy. Scatter with thyme leaves to serve.

PERFECTLY ROASTED VEGETABLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Set an oven rack to the second-lowest level in the oven.
• Fill a bowl with lightly salted water. Place Brussels sprouts in salted water and let sit for about 15 minutes; drain.
• Stir potatoes, carrots, cauliflower, beets, shallot, olive oil, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Pour vegetables in a single layer onto a baking sheet.
• Roast in the preheated oven until caramelized and cooked through, about 45 minutes.

BEET SALAD WITH PICKLED MUSHROOMS AND CARAMELIZED SHALLOTS

Steps:

• Place beets in a large pot. Pour in cold water to cover; season with salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, 40-60 minutes. Drain and let beets cool. Slip skins off with your hands (wear gloves to avoid staining if you have them) and slice into wedges. Place in a large bowl.
• Meanwhile, heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet over high. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and crisp, about 6 minutes.
• Whisk vinegar, honey, garlic, 1/4 cup oil, and remaining 1 1/2 tsp. salt in a small bowl. Add mushrooms to dressing and let sit to pickle at least 30 minutes.
• Wipe out skillet. Heat remaining 2 Tbsp. oil in skillet over medium-high. Add shallots and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and tender, about 4 minutes. Let cool.
• Pour dressing off mushrooms over beets in bowl. Add tarragon and toss to coat. Top with shallots and pickled mushrooms; season with pepper.
• Do Ahead: Beets can be boiled 2 days ahead. Do not peel; cover and chill. Dressing can be made and mushrooms pickled 1 day ahead; cover and chill separately.

ROASTED BEET, SHALLOT AND PECAN SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F. Brush large baking sheet with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil. Place beets on prepared baking sheet and roast beets 30 minutes. Add shallots to same sheet. Sprinkle beets and shallots with salt and pepper and roast 30 minutes. Push beets and shallots away from 1 corner of sheet and scatter pecans in corner. Roast beets, shallots and pecans until vegetables are tender and pecans are golden brown, about 6 minutes. Cool vegetables and pecans to room temperature, about 15 minutes.
• Whisk remaining 6 tablespoons olive oil, vinegar and garlic in small bowl to blend. Season dressing to taste with salt and pepper.
• Transfer pecans and shallots to large bowl and add lettuce. Peel and slice beets; add to salad. Toss salad with enough dressing to coat. Sprinkle with Gorgonzola cheese and serve.
