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.

HONEY-GINGER BAKED BEETS

Steps:

• Scrub beets but do not peel.
• Place beets in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 40 minutes, or until just tender. Drain.
• When cool enough to handle, peel beets, cut into quarters and place them in a oven-proof casserole dish, with a lid.
• Pre-heat oven to 350ºF.
• In small saucepan, melt butter and mix in honey and ginger. Season with salt and pepper and pour over beets.
• Cover with lid and bake 45-60 minutes, stirring occasionally, until beets are well glazed.

ROASTED BEETS WITH ORANGE AND GINGER

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Lay a large piece of aluminum foil on a baking sheet and place beets in the center. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Wrap foil loosely around beets and roast in oven until beets are tender when pierced with a fork, about 1 hour. Let stand until cool enough to handle.
• Using a zester, remove a quarter of the orange rind in long, thin strips. Cut away remaining rind and pith with a sharp knife. Remove segments from half the orange and cut them in half crosswise; set aside. Squeeze juice from remaining half and place 1 tablespoon of juice in a small bowl. Add vinegar and ginger and whisk in remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Peel beets and quarter them; toss in a bowl with vinaigrette. Mix with orange segments, zest, and pecans, reserving some of each to sprinkle on top as a garnish.

ORANGE GINGER ROASTED ROOT VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
• Chop root vegetables into 1/4 inch chunks and place in a bowl. If you want to prevent the beets from bleeding into the sweet potatoes and carrots, put the beets in a separate bowl.
• Wisk the remaining ingredients for the orange ginger marinade and evenly pour over the bowl of vegetables.
• Let them marinate for an hour and then spread the root vegetables on a non-stick cooking sheet. Make sure to pour the remaining marinade left in the bowl over the vegetables.
• Roast for 35-40 mins or until they're golden brown on the edges.

ROASTED BEET AND GINGER SALAD

Steps:

• Cook the beets: Using a pot large enough to hold all of the beets, fill it 3/4 of the way with cold water and add the beets. Season the water generously with salt. Bring the liquid to a gentle simmer over low heat. When the beets are tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, drain the water and allow them to cool for about 10 minutes. Peel them by "wiping" the skin off with a kitchen towel. Trim the tough parts of the tops and bottoms with a small knife and cut each beet into "sections" like pieces of an orange.
• Make the dressing: In a medium bowl, combine the cider vinegar, balsamic vinegar, brown sugar and sea salt and pepper, to taste. Stir in the beets. Put the bowl in the refrigerator and allow the beets to marinate for about 10 to 15 minutes.
• When ready to serve, add the olive oil, ginger and parsley leaves. Toss to coat the beets. Use a scissors to "snip" the mint leaves over the salad and serve immediately.

ROASTED BEETS WITH GINGER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Carefully scrub the beets clean trimming off the leaves and the long root tip. Tightly wrap beets in aluminnum foil and place in oven for 40-50 minutes or until the beets are tender and the skin is loose. Remove from oven and cut a slit in the foil to allow the steam to escape.
• Allow the beets to cool enough so that you can handle them. Trim the ends and peel the skin. The skin should slip of quite easily. If not then perhaps the beets need a bit more cooking. Cut the peeled beets into sixths or eighths - depending on the size of your beets.
• Heat oil under medium low heat. Add ginger and cook one or two minutes. Keep the heat low as you are looking to release the flavor. If your ginger sizzles or browns, then your heat is too high. Add the beets and cook two or three minutes. Add balsamic vinegar and cook another minute or so. The oil, vinegar and ginger should create nice glaze covering the beets.
• Serve and enjoy.

BEET & GINGER SALAD

Steps:

• Clean, trim, foil wrap and roast the beets at 375 degrees for approximately 1 hour. They are done when they give a little when squeezed. Remove from oven, cool, skin and cut into large, bite-size cubes.
• Remove from oven, cool, skin and cut into large, bite-size cubes.
• Finely mince 2 tablespoons of fresh ginger.
• Combine the beets, ginger and walnut oil in a roomy glass bowl. Season the mixture with salt and black pepper. Toss thoroughly and serve.

GINGER SALT-ROASTED BEETS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
• Wash the ginger and cut it into small pieces. Puree the ginger in a food processor until it becomes a rough paste. Add the egg whites and puree to combine. Add the salt and puree again to combine. The mixture will resemble wet sand.
• Spread one-quarter of the mixture over the bottom of a 5 × 9-inch loaf pan. Nestle the beets, stem side down, into the salt. Cover the beets with the rest of the ginger salt, packing it around the beets and making sure they are covered. (The bottom tips of the beets may be the only part exposed.) Roast for 1 hour. Remove the pan from the oven and place on a wire rack. Using a metal cake tester, poke the beets. They are done when the beet feels firm but tender as the tester goes through it; it will feel like testing a baked potato. Let the beets rest in the hot salt for 30 minutes.
• Use the back of a spoon to crack the salt crust, then scoop the salt away from the beets. Remove the beets and, using paper towels, wipe off the salt and peel the skin. Put the beets on a cutting board and cut each one into 8 wedges. Serve the beets warm or let them cool to use in a salad or other cold preparation.
