A cool and tangy crème fraîche dressing adorns roasted beets for a simple, colorful side dish. We like to use a combination of red and golden beets for presentation.

Ingredients

  • 3 lb. beets (about 10 large)
  • 3 tbsp. olive oil
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup crème fraîche
  • Zest and juice of 1 orange

Instructions

Step 1

Heat oven to 400°. Place beets in a 9” x 13” ovenproof dish; toss with oil, salt, and pepper. Cover tightly with aluminum foil; bake until tender, 40 minutes.
