This easy golden beet recipe is made even more delicious with a white wine vinegar and olive oil dressing. It is one of my all time favorite side dishes.  

Ingredients

Ingredient List:

  • 3 medium sized golden beets, scrubbed, shoot & root trimmed
  • 1 cup (~ 1/2 small) red onion, sliced thin

Ingredient List Vinaigrette:

  • 1/3 cup white wine vinegar
  • 3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • pinch black pepper
  • ~ 1 Tbsp fresh tarragon or parsley, chopped - optional

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425F.
  • Wrap each beet in it's own aluminum foil packet (making sure that it's tightly closed) and place on a lined baking sheet (for easy clean up in case foil leaks).  
  • Cook ~ 1 hour or until fork pierces softly through the beet.  Be careful opening up the aluminum packets to avoid getting a steam burn.  
  • Cool golden beets, remove skin, and cut each beet into wedges.
  • Make the vinaigrette: Combine all vinaigrette ingredients in a jar with a lid and shake vigorously.  Add salt and pepper to taste
  • Combine beets with sliced onions and toss with the vinaigrette.  Add salt to taste.

Notes

  • Beets can also be boiled for approximately the same time.  Make sure to check after the 30 minute mark to see if they are tender and ready.
  • Run beets under water to cool down and remove the skin with your hands quickly instead of using a peeler.
  • Don't have fresh herbs? Skip the step or add a pinch or two of your favorite dried herbs.
