foil-roasted beets with wasabi vinaigrette
Being a nice Polish girl, red beets have always held a special, nostalgic place in my heart. And even though I realize wasabi is uniquely Japanese, each time I taste it, it still reminds me of the horseradish-infused Polish dishes I grew up eating during my childhood in the boondockian Pennsylvania coal regions.
This juxtaposition inspired my simple autumnal salad. The inherent sweetness and earthy innocence of the red beets is dazzled by the urbane spiciness of this wasabi vinaigrette-just as a coal-miners' granddaughter like me was dazzled by the spice and tang of city life.
Wasabi Vinaigrette Dressing
3 T extra virgin olive oil
1 T balsamic vinegar
1 T parsley, chopped fine
1 tsp rice vinegar
1 tsp wasabi paste
1 garlic clove, crushed
Mix everything well and toss over beets, salad or vegetables.
Foil-Roasting Beets
The easiest way to cook beets is roast them in foil. Wash them, cut off the green tops and wrap them individually in aluminum foil. Place them on a cookie sheet and roast them for about 45 minutes at 400 degrees. [When they're done, you can easily pierce them with a fork.] After they cool, peel the beets and use them however you like--in a salad, in borscht, or as is.

Yummmm, I love beets. I will try this dish tomorrow - thank you!
Having only had pickled beets when younger and hating them, I recently (five years ago)discovered fresh beets and now adore them and eat them any chance I get.
boondockian Pennsylvania coal region? where did you grow up?
p.s. I emailed you a few months back about moving into the city. we ended up in queen village:)
That sounds like a delicious combo!
i juice beets but never eat them. i gotta try eating them and this sounds great!
Oh, I LOVE roasted beets. I usually make them with an orange vinaigrette, but I'll have to try this recipe. I always roast my beets in foil, too...so easy
Hey, I just had roasted beets last night! LOVE them, but haven't tried them with horseradish before...must give it a try. Yours look delish.
I may have to try beets again sometime. The last time they tried to feed me beets, I hit the far wall with them from my highchair! And no, that wasn't last week....:)
i love beets, too and this recipe sounds great!! i'm definitely going to try this.
These look excellent! Here's a question for you, though: do you peel the beets before roasting them? I always do, but perhaps that's unnecessary.
Kati--I peel them after roasting. Not sure that it matters.
is is pathetic to admit that I have never eaten beets before?? your recipe sounds intriguing... will I like beets?? haha.
Two weeks ago, I had my friends over to help be cook the beets because I had never done that before. Woah! are they ever long to cook!
I ate 5 lbs of beets in 4 days.. just put pepper, they were quite yummmmmy!
A very tasty veggie that we don't eat enough of in my opinion. ;-)
YUM. I'm a huge fan of beets, and love the wasabi/horseradishy flavor family. This is so gorgeous- and I love the sweet symbolism behind it.
I've been dying to make roasted beets and this recipe looks awesome. I'm going to have to give it a try!
Mmm. I always like the beets at the salad bar but I never knew how to do it. Good to know!
I wish I could get the taste for beets because those look amazing! I was tormented as a child by an aunt who insisted that canned beets were a girly color, and therefore, every woman should like them... I'm sure yours are much better though!
I love beets in any way , shape and form. This recipe sounds great...especially with wasabi addition. thank you.
Your beets are so pretty and I am trying to learn to love this veggie. Perhaps wasabi will do the trick.
I don't like wasabi but I love beets with things like orange juice or stuff on them. Most kids don't like beets I guess, but if you get them right out of the garden and they are pretty small they will be good.
Oooh, I need to make that dressing!
Oh I love beets! Few veggies are as tasty and gorgeous at the same time. The wasabi idea is clever too!
This is quite a pair!
I love beets and yours look super. I am so happy to be back online and visiting all my friends. I have missed so much. Look at all the goodies you have posted about. Yikes, will I ever get caught up?
Hello!
Thanks for dropping by and leaving me a such a nice comment on my health issue post.
Took a stroll among all your posts and great recipes, and will definitely be dropping by in the future.
You ever have potato pierogies? I know it is Ukrainian, but do the Poles also have a version?
Thanks again,
Unilove
i didn't start to eat beets until about a year ago. now i cant get enough. thanks for the new recipe :)
I just love beets and thats probably due to the fact it was the closest thing to salad that my Welsh Father would eat so we had it always in my home. I must try it with the wasabi.
Like many others, I didn't like beets when I was a kid, but now I love them. I'll try this out, thanks for sharing the recipe!
Thanks for this recipe and link with polish cooking. Recently, a reader asked me ideas to cook with wasabi. But unfortunatly, I've noticed I haven't got so many...
We made this together with vegan stroganoff and it was delicious!
