Tips:

  • Choose beets that are small and firm, about 2 to 3 inches in diameter. This will ensure that they cook evenly.
  • To save time, you can roast the beets in advance and store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, simply reheat them in a 350°F oven for 10-15 minutes.
  • If you don't have a microplane, you can use a regular grater to zest the lemon. Just be sure to use the smallest holes on the grater so that you don't get any of the bitter white pith.
  • To make the vinaigrette, you can use any type of vinegar you like. White wine vinegar, apple cider vinegar, and balsamic vinegar are all good options.
  • If you don't have any fresh herbs, you can use 1/2 teaspoon of dried oregano or thyme instead.

Conclusion:

Roasted beets are a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed all year round. They're perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion dinner. The lemon vinaigrette adds a bright and tangy flavor that pairs perfectly with the earthy sweetness of the beets. So next time you're looking for a simple and delicious side dish, give roasted beets with lemon vinaigrette a try. You won't be disappointed!
