Fresh Roasted Orange Beets with Orange Vinaigrette

There’s nothing better than turning farm-fresh finds into something bright and memorable. These vibrant orange beets get a sweet, earthy depth when roasted with garlic — wrapped in foil and cooked at 400°F for about 45 minutes until perfectly tender. Once cooled and peeled, they’re ready to shine.

Orange Vinaigrette:

  • ½ cup white wine vinegar
  • Juice of 1 orange
  • 2 Tbsp. honey
  • ½ Tbsp. Dijon mustard
  • 2 Tbsp orange zest
  • 1 shallot, minced
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Mix in a bowl or shake in a closed jar. The dressing can be stored in a sealed jar for up to five days.

To plate:

Lay the warm roasted beets over a bed of crisp field greens tossed gently in the orange vinaigrette. Finish with a drizzle of balsamic glaze and a sprinkle of chopped pistachios for a touch of crunch and elegance.

Chef’s tip:

Serve slightly chilled or at room temp — this lets the flavors open up beautifully. Pair with grilled fish or a crusty baguette for a light summer meal.

Seasonal, simple, and chef-inspired — that’s Plated in Season. 🌿✨
