Roasted beets with citrus is a classic combination of flavors and a beautiful way to round out your holiday table. This recipe combines a mixture of colorful citrus and roasted beets, along with punchy tarragon vinegar and fresh chives.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place the beets on a large sheet of foil; drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Fold and crimp the edges of the foil together to form a packet, leaving room for steam to circulate. Transfer the packet to the oven rack and roast until the beets are tender when pierced with a knife, 40 to 45 minutes. Let cool slightly in the foil, then carefully open. Rub off the skins with a paper towel and cut the beets into wedges.
  2. Trim the bottoms and tops of the oranges, then cut off the peel and pith with a paring knife. Slice crosswise into rounds, removing any seeds.
  3. Combine the beets and oranges on a serving platter and gently toss. Drizzle with the vinegar and remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, then top with the chives.
