Best 7 Roasted Beets With Capers Recipes

ROASTED BEETS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• Remove the tops and the roots of the beets and peel each one with a vegetable peeler. Cut the beets in 1 1/2-inch chunks. (Small beets can be halved, medium ones cut in quarters, and large beets cut in eighths.)
• Place the cut beets on a baking sheet and toss with the olive oil, thyme leaves, salt, and pepper. Roast for 35 to 40 minutes, turning once or twice with a spatula, until the beets are tender. Remove from the oven and immediately toss with the vinegar and orange juice. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and serve warm.

ROASTED BEETS WITH CAPERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°. Spread the salt in a small roasting pan and set the beets on top.
• Transfer to the oven and roast for about 50 minutes, or until the beets are tender when pierced. Let cool for 20 minutes.
• While the beets are still warm, peel and cut them into wedges. In a medium bowl, combine the beets and their leaves with the olive oil, vinegar, capers and chives.
• Season with salt and pepper, toss and serve.

ROASTED BEETS WITH LEMON

Steps:

• Put 2 pounds beets in a baking dish lined with a large sheet of aluminum foil. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 3 tablespoons water and 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Bring the foil edges together; fold to seal. Roast at 325 degrees F until tender, 45 minutes for small beets and up to 2 hours, 30 minutes for large ones. Let cool. Peel the beets; cut into cubes. Whisk the juice of 1 lemon, 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a bowl; whisk in 3 tablespoons olive oil. Toss with the beets.
• TIP: Roasting beets intensifies their sweet, earthy flavor. All they need is a simple vinaigrette.

ROASTED EGGPLANT SALAD WITH CAPERS AND ONIONS

Steps:

• 1. Wash and pat dry the eggplants. Roast them whole over an open flame on top of the stove or under the broiler, turning, until the skins are charred on all sides. (This may also be done on a grill.) Remove and let cool slightly.
• 2. Have a large bowl with the olive oil ready. Cut the eggplants open lengthwise and remove as many of the seeds as possible. Scoop out the roasted eggplant pulp and place it in a bowl with the olive oil. Salt lightly. With a fork and knife, cut the eggplant so that it is chunky. Add the onion, garlic, capers, tomato, and parsley and mix with a fork to combine well. Add the vinegar and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, pepper, and vinegar if desired.

BEET SALAD WITH HORSERADISH AND FRIED CAPERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place beets on half of a large piece of aluminum foil. Drizzle with a tablespoon of olive oil. Fold the foil and seal the edges. Lay package on a baking sheet and place it in the oven. Roast until beets are tender, 45 to 60 minutes. (Test by poking a fork through the foil into a beet.) Remove from the oven. Be careful when opening the foil; steam will race out. While still warm, peel beets, then slice into wedges and place in a bowl.
• Soak salt-packed capers for 10 minutes, drain, rinse, then pat dry. (If using brined capers, drain and pat dry.) Pour 1/2 inch olive oil into a small saucepan over medium-high heat. When oil is hot enough to toast a bread crumb in 30 seconds, add capers. Be careful; oil may sputter. Fry until capers fluff and begin to brown on edges, 30 to 60 seconds. Drain on paper towels.
• In a small bowl, whisk together mustard, horseradish and vinegar. Whisk in 1/4 cup oil, followed by sour cream. Pour half the dressing over beets; mix. Taste, adding more dressing or salt, if needed. Rub a platter with crushed garlic, then spoon on beets and sprinkle with fried capers.

CEASAR SALAD WITH ROASTED CAPERS

• Place the capers and 1 teaspoon oil in a small heavy roasting pan.
• Roast turning a few times, until crispy, about 18-20 minutes. *WATCH carefully towards the end. Remove from the pan, cool and reserve.
• Meanwhile, immerse the egg in a small saucepan of boiling water. Remove the pan from the heat; allow to sit for 10 minutes. Remove the egg from the water; allow to cool about 10 minutes.
• Mince the garlic in a food processor. Add the lemon juice, anchovy paste, pepper; process to combine.
• Spoon in the egg; pulse until combined. Add 1/2 C oil until emulsified. Pulse in 1/4 C cheese. Taste for seasoning.
• In a large bowl, combine the lettuce and capers with the dressing & toss to combine. Add the remaining 1/4 C cheese; toss.

ROASTED BEET SALAD WITH BEET GREENS AND FETA

Mix in capers and 1/4 cup dressing. Season with salt and pepper.
• Cut stems off beet greens; discard stems. Wash greens. Transfer greens, with some water still clinging to leaves, to large pot. Stir over high heat until just wilted but still bright green, about 4 minutes. Drain greens; squeeze out excess moisture. Cool; chop coarsely.
• Transfer greens to medium bowl. Toss with enough dressing to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Arrange beets in center of platter. Surround with greens; sprinkle with feta. Drizzle with any remaining dressing.
