ROASTED BEETS WITH CHILES, GINGER, YOGURT AND INDIAN SPICES
The pungent spices, zingy fresh ginger, dollops of tangy yogurt and fiery green chiles found in Indian cuisine tame the sugary beets in this recipe and open up a whole new universe of flavor. In traditional Indian cooking, beets are usually boiled or steamed, then often made into vegetable curries or chutney. But here they are roasted, which intensifies their sweetness.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Peel the beets and cut into 1-inch chunks. Toss with the oil and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper. Roast for 30 minutes, tossing occasionally, then sprinkle with mustard seeds, coriander and cumin and roast until the beets are tender, about 15 minutes more.
- While the beets roast, prepare the dressing: using the side of a knife or mortar and pestle, mash the garlic with a pinch of salt until it forms a paste. Place yogurt in a bowl; whisk in garlic paste, jalapeño, ginger, 1/4 teaspoon salt and lime juice. Whisk in the cilantro.
- Scrape the warm beets into a large bowl. Stir in the dressing and pomegranate seeds, if using. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.

ROASTED BEETS WITH YOGURT, PISTACHIOS AND CORIANDER
This sophisticated side is easy enough for a weeknight, but fancy enough for entertaining thanks to a few unexpected additions: Seasoned Greek yogurt forms the basis of an effortless sauce, while toasted coriander seeds and chopped pistachios add texture. Roasting sweet, earthy beets concentrates their flavor, and a splash of balsamic balances out their sweetness. This dish can be prepared in advance and served hot, cold or at room temperature, but its assembly should be done just before serving so the toasted coriander seeds and roasted pistachios retain their crunch.

Tips:
- Choose beets that are small and firm. These will be the most tender and flavorful.
- Trim the greens from the beets, leaving about 1 inch of stem. This will help to prevent the beets from bleeding during roasting.
- Toss the beets in olive oil and season with salt and pepper. This will help them to caramelize and develop a delicious flavor.
- Roast the beets at a high temperature (425 degrees Fahrenheit) for about 45 minutes, or until they are tender. You can test them by inserting a fork into the center of the beet. If it goes in easily, the beet is done.
- Let the beets cool slightly before peeling and slicing them. This will make them easier to handle.
- Serve the beets warm or at room temperature. They can be dressed with yogurt, olive oil, vinegar, or your favorite vinaigrette.
