Ingredients

  • Golden beets — 3 lb (about 8 medium), tops trimmed
  • Pistachios — 3/4 cup, toasted and chopped
  • Soft goat cheese — 8 oz, crumbled
  • Fresh dill and mint — 1/2 cup loosely packed, torn
  • Citrus–herb vinaigrette: extra-virgin olive oil 6 Tbsp; champagne vinegar 3 Tbsp; orange zest 1; orange juice 2 Tbsp; honey 1 tsp; kosher salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 400°F. Wrap beets in foil packets and roast until tender when pierced, 45–60 minutes depending on size. Cool slightly, then rub off skins and cut into wedges.
  2. Whisk vinaigrette. Toss warm beets with a few spoonfuls of dressing and season with salt and pepper.
  3. Arrange beets on a platter; scatter dill, mint, pistachios, and goat cheese. Drizzle with a little more vinaigrette just before serving.
