    Oven Roasted Beets With Goat Cheese Salad

    Ingredients

    Here’s what you need to make this salad.

    Infographic with ingredients to make Roasted Beets In Oven With Goat Cheese for Salad
    • Beets (diced in large chunks, because roasting whole beets takes forever)
    • Olive oil
    • Sea salt
    • Parsley (or dill would be delicious)
    • Goat cheese crumbles or squares
    • Fresh cracked pepper
    • Pumpkin seeds
    • Optional: a squeeze of lemon juice
    • If you’re dairy free, substitute orange segments for the goat cheese

    How to clean beets

    I usually just quickly rinse them under running water and pat them dry with a ​​paper towel, so the olive oil has a better chance of sticking to the beets. You could use a brush and scrub the beets to remove any dirt, but hey, beets are supposed to taste earthy, right? 

    Anyways, you’ll peel beets before roasting ‘em…

    How to peel beets

    Here’s a secret I’ve found: the longer beets are in the fridge, the softer they become and easier it is to peel them with a peeler or to cut off the skin with a paring knife. Especially if the beets are really hard, be careful because they can be very slippery to peel. 

    If you’re struggling with peeling beets, I have another secret… you know, because I eat so many beets, obviously. I’ve found that it’s easier to peel the beets AFTER they are done cooking. You just have to remember you left the skin on and it will slide right off with a spoon or knife after they roast.

    Demonstrating roasting beets in oven without foil on parchment paper
    No need to make oven roasted beets in foil. I’ll show you how to make them right on parchment paper lined sheet pan. That way they don’t get that funky metallic foil wrapped beets taste.

    How to roast beets in the oven for beet salad

    Now I’ll walk you through my go-to roasted beets recipe…

    Infographic demonstrating how to roast beets in oven for salad with goat cheese
    1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Set out a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. 
    2. To a large bowl, add diced beets, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with sea salt. Mix together until all ingredients are integrated. Add beets to the sheet pan in a flat layer. 
    3. Add beets to the oven. How long to roast beets in oven will vary a bit based on size of the chunks. My technique is to bake beets for 15 minutes. Flip them around with a spatula and bake for another 5-10 minutes or as long as desired until beets roast to your desired level of doneness. They should be fork tender and starting to brown around the edges. 
    4. Transfer oven roasted beets to a serving platter and sprinkle with parsley and goat cheese crumbles or squares, a crack of salt and pepper as desired, pumpkin seeds, and (optional) a squeeze of lemon juice.

    FAQs

    Do you need to cook beets in foil?

    Actually, I prefer NOT to because I find that cooking beets in aluminum foil gives them an odd taste. Years ago, I used to put beets in a ball of foil, drizzle beets with olive oil, then seal up the foil to steam them inside. But now, I think they taste more pure cooked on parchment paper, like in this recipe tutorial.

    How do you turn this into a roasted beets and carrots side dish?

    That’s easy to do! Use carrots that are large in size. You want them to be the same thickness and size as the chunks of beets. 

    I’d throw them right in the same olive oil and seasoning mix, but season them separately from the beets. Then I’d arrange them on a different parchment paper lined sheet tray. Or on a separate half from the beets on a rimmed baking sheet. So if the carrots cook faster than the beets, or vice versa, you can remove them from the oven so they don’t overcook. 

    Carrots will cook in about the same time as beets when prepared this way, and they’re ready when you can easily piece them with a fork.

    What do roasted beets taste like?

    Roasted beets will taste rich, earthy and slightly sweet. There may be a hint of bitterness if you taste them straight out of the oven; once they cool a bit and you add the goat cheese, you’ll be very pleased with the final beet salad recipe.

    Are beets good for you?

    Beets roasted and paired with goat cheese are not only delicious – they’re also incredibly nutritious. These flavorful root vegetables include a large amount of folate (vitamin B6), a key nutrient that gives you energy and helps your cells function as they should. They also contain a high amount of highly effective antioxidants including betalains (which give them that deep red / purple color).

    Who should avoid beetroot?

    I’m not in the medical field, but I’ve heard that if you have kidney stones or gallbladder stones you may want to avoid beets; they contain oxalate acid, which can make already-existing stones worse. If that’s you, consult a doctor, and perhaps try my maple balsamic glazed carrots instead!

    What can I serve with my oven roasted beets with goat cheese?

    Roasted beets pair well with sous vide pork or beef brisket, and are also delicious when served with other root vegetables. Serve this scrumptious dish with my smoked sous vide beef brisket and chilled farro salad with roasted vegetables, or with sous vide pork chops and kale apple slaw salad.

    Meat thermometer recommendations

    Every home chef needs a reliable meat thermometer to cook food perfectly. 

    On Sip Bite Go, you’ll often see me using:

    1. Meater thermometer – a fancy wireless thermometer that connects to a phone app – gifted to me from a Traeger partnership.
    2. ThermoPro digital thermometer – which has a wire that connects the thermometer to a display box outside the oven/grill. 

    It’s like being psychic! The great thing about either of the thermometers above is that I don’t have to take the food out of the oven to know the temperature. 

    How to use ‘em… What I do is stick the digital thermometer in steak, pork, chicken, whatever… Then put the food in the oven, on the smoker, or grill.

    While the meat cooks, it reads the temperature so I know exactly what temp meat is as it’s cooking. Without having to take it out and check. It’s really difficult to overcook food when you know exactly what temp it is inside!

    Are you a foodie, too?

    Hey home chefs, hope that answers all your questions about exactly how to roast beets in the oven for a delicious lunch or dinner appetizer. Serve it with my tri tip in oven or stuffed chicken for a wonderful meal.

    Hey, I’m Jenna Passaro.

    I develop easy recipes that can transform your kitchen into a restaurant – and you into a true home chef.

      

    Where to start?

    Learn the secrets to smoking tasty Traeger recipes and making pizza at home. And cook amazing tri tip steak dinners.

    Or, fall in love with something new to cook with your air fryer, pellet smoker, BBQ grill, sous vide cooker, and more…

    My story. Growing up, I didn’t learn to cook.

    (I was actually banned from cooking for years)

    And then in my 20’s I didn’t have to cook because my job as an event planner involved a lot of travel and it was easier to eat out. At the time, I was 100% positive that restaurant food would always taste better than cooking at home, and there was nothing I could do about it.

    Until I fell in love with a chef. He would come over and cook me delicious meals right in my own kitchen. My mind was blown.

    Since then, I’ve been on a mission to figure out easy ways to make restaurant style food at home and share it here on Sip Bite Go.

    Love to eat out and travel? I can totally relate. See my guide on where to eat in Portland, OR.

    Never in a million years did I imagine I’d ditch the 9-5 lifestyle in my late 20’s, move across the country on a whim, start a new life, start a food blog, and write a book.

    But here I am!
