Recipe information

  • Total Time

    2 1/2 hr

  • Yield

    Makes 6 servings

Ingredients

6 medium beets (2 1/2 lb with greens), trimmed, leaving 1 inch of stems attached
2 1/2 lb carrots, cut diagonally into 3/4-inch-thick slices
2 tablespoons olive oil

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F. Wrap beets tightly in foil, making 2 packages, and roast in middle of oven until tender, about 1 1/4 hours.

    Step 2

    Toss carrots with oil and salt and pepper to taste in a shallow baking pan.

    Step 3

    Remove beets from oven and roast carrots in middle of oven until tender, about 20 minutes.

    Step 4

    While carrots are roasting, unwrap beets and, when just cool enough to handle, slip off skins and remove stems. Cut each beet into 6 wedges.

    Step 5

    Add beets to carrots, tossing to combine, and roast until beets are hot and carrots are very tender, about 15 minutes more.
