Roasted Carrot And Beet Salad Recipes

ROASTED BEETS AND CARROTS

Steps:

• Peel carrots and cut diagonally into 1-2 inch thick wedges (1 inch for the thick end of the carrot, 2 inch for the thin end).
• Place in a large bowl and toss with 1/4 cup each of olive oil and balsamic vinegar, 1 tsp kosher salt, and 1 Tablespoon sugar. Set aside.
• Peel beets, slice into cubes approximately 1-2 inches square.
• Spray baking pan with nonstick spray.
• Mix carrots one more time, then empty gently into half of baking pan.
• Move beets to bowl, toss gently with remaining oil, vinegar, salt and sugar.
• Let stand 2-3 minutes, then toss one more time before transferring to other half of baking pan.
• Bake 375-400°F for one hour, uncovered, tossing each vegetable separately once during cooking.
• Serve immediately.

ROASTED BEET AND CARROT SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss beets and carrots with 1 1/2 tablespoons oil; season with salt and pepper. Roast until tender, 25 to 30 minutes, tossing halfway through. Let cool 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together orange juice, vinegar, tarragon, and 1 1/2 tablespoons oil; season with salt and pepper. In a large bowl, toss endives with half the dressing, then transfer to a serving platter. Toss beets and carrots with remaining dressing and add to platter. Top with goat cheese and pecans before serving.

GRATED CARROT AND (RAW) BEET SALAD

Steps:

• Trim, peel, and grate the carrots and beets. (If you own a food processor with a grater attachment, yay for you!)
• Place the rest of the main ingredients, from garlic to black pepper, in a large salad bowl, add the grated carrots and beets, and toss until well combined.
• Add any desired add-ins and toss again.
• Taste, adjust the seasoning, and let stand for 30 minutes, if you can, before serving: the beets and carrots will render juices that will make the salad moister.
• If you don't have that kind of time and the salad does not feel quite moist enough, add a dash of citrus juice, tomato juice, or any sort of juice that may currently reside in the refrigerator door.

SPICY BEET AND CARROT SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch roasting pan with cooking spray.
• Place the carrots and onion on one side of the pan, and the beets on the other side. Spray the vegetables with cooking spray. Cover pan with aluminum foil.
• Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then uncover pan and roast until browned and tender, about 20 more minutes.
• Whisk together the honey, ground chipotle pepper, Dijon mustard, olive oil, tea, apple cider vinegar, and salt until the mixture is smooth and the salt has dissolved. Place the roasted carrots, onion, and beets into a large bowl, and pour the dressing over the vegetables. Gently toss vegetables to coat with dressing.
• To serve, place 1 cup of arugula on each of 5 salad plates, then top with 1 cup of the dressed vegetables and 1/2 ounce of goat cheese.

HONEY-BALSAMIC GLAZED ROASTED BEETS & CARROTS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Place 20x12-inch piece of heavy duty foil on work surface; place beets in center of foil, and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Turn beets to coat in oil, then fold foil over beets, and tightly close foil to seal. Place foil-wrapped beets on rimmed baking sheet. Roast 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes or until very tender when pierced with paring knife. Carefully open foil, and transfer beets to cutting board. Reserve baking sheet. Let beets stand until cool enough to handle, about 15 minutes. Peel, then cut into wedges.
• Meanwhile, cut carrots crosswise into 3-inch pieces, then quarter or halve if thin. In medium bowl, mix carrots, remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt. Place carrots on baking sheet. Roast 20 to 25 minutes, turning once, until tender and browned on edges.
• In small microwavable bowl or measuring cup, mix balsamic vinegar, honey and pepper. Microwave uncovered on High heat 2 to 3 minutes, checking every 30 seconds after 2 minutes, until mixture is boiling and slightly thickened.
• Transfer beets to serving platter, and sprinkle with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Top with carrots. Drizzle vegetables with honey-balsamic glaze, then top with basil.

BEET AND CARROT SALAD
