Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 2 medium beets, peeled and cubed
- 1 cup radishes, halved
Seasoning
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Toppings
- 2 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley or chives, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure easy cleanup and prevent sticking.
- Toss the vegetables: In a large bowl, combine the peeled and cubed beets with the halved radishes. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle salt and black pepper. Toss thoroughly so all pieces are evenly coated.
- Roast the vegetables: Spread the coated vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Place in the oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring once halfway through cooking. Roast until vegetables are tender and lightly caramelized for maximum flavor.
- Cool slightly: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the roasted vegetables to cool for a few minutes to stop the cooking process and make them easier to handle.
- Add goat cheese and herbs: Transfer the roasted beets and radishes to a serving dish. Sprinkle the crumbled goat cheese evenly over the top. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or chives, if desired, for an added fresh flavor and color.
- Serve: Enjoy this dish warm or at room temperature as a tasty side dish to complement your meal.
Notes
- For sweeter beets, roasting longer can enhance caramelization but keep an eye so they don’t burn.
- You can substitute fresh thyme or dill for parsley or chives if preferred.
- To save time, you can peel and cube the beets in advance and store in the fridge until ready to roast.
- This recipe pairs well with grilled meats, roasted chicken, or as part of a vegetarian plate.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
