Ingredients

  • 22 young beets, about the size of an apricot (Craft uses a combination of red, gold and chiogga beets), trimmed and scrubbed
  • 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for garnish
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 2 teaspoons thinly sliced chives
  • Fleur de sel

Method

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  • In a large bowl, toss the beets to coat with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  • Wrap beets in aluminum foil, keeping the different color varieties separate.
  • Put aluminum pouches in the oven and roast about 1 hour until tender, when easily pierced with a paring knife.
  • Remove from oven.
  • While beets are still slightly warm, remove the outer skin by rubbing them gently with a towel.
  • To serve, preheat oven to 350.
  • Warm olive oil in a saute pan over medium heat.
  • Add beets.
  • Place in the oven.
  • Heat through, about 10 minutes, drain on paper towels to remove extra olive oil and arrange on a plate.
