Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 pounds (including tops) golden, pink, or red beets (each 2 to 3 in. wide; see notes), rinsed and greens trimmed and discarded or reserved for another use
  • 6 tablespoons orange juice
  • 3 tablespoons champagne vinegar or white wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons minced shallots
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Pepper

Method

  • Place beets in a 9- by 13-inch baking pan. Add 1/2 inch water. Cover tightly with foil and bake in a 375° regular or convection oven until tender when pierced, 45 to 60 minutes. When cool enough to handle, peel and cut into 1/2-inch wedges.
  • Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine orange juice, vinegar, shallots, salt, and pepper to taste. Add the warm beets and stir to coat. Serve warm or at room temperature.
