Marinated Roasted Beets
- 4 medium beets with greens
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1/3 cup cider vinegar
- 1/3 cup red wine vinegar
- 1/3 cup chopped onion
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper (coarsely ground preferred)
- Preheat the oven to 425F.
- Cut off all but 1 to 2 inches of the beet stems, and dont cut off the root ends.
- (This helps retain flavor and keep the color from bleeding.)
- Put the beets on a rimmed baking sheet.
- Drizzle with the oil.
- Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the beets are tender when tested with the tip of a knife.
- Let cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes.
- Discard the root ends.
- Peel the beets, discarding the skins.
- Cut the beets crosswise into 1/8- to 1/4-inch slices.
- Place the beets in a single layer in a shallow glass dish, such as 12 x 8 x 2 inches.
- In a small saucepan, stir together the remaining ingredients.
- Heat over medium-high heat until the mixture comes to a boil, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Pour over the beets, making sure all the beets are coated.
- Cover and refrigerate for 2 to 24 hours, stirring once or twice if all the beets are not covered in liquid.
- Drain and discard the marinade before serving the beets.
- Red beets can stain, so you might want to wear an apron and plastic gloves when peeling and cutting the cooked beets.
- If you dont use gloves, you can sprinkle your hands with salt and rub them vigorously, then wash them with soap and water to eliminate stains.
