The Strategy:

If you buy the beets that are packaged with their greens, you have two amazing vegetables to work with!

Serves: 4 as a side | Total Time: 60 minutes to cook

Ingredients

For beets and glaze

6 medium beets, any color, peeled
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 large orange, zested and juiced, about 1⁄4 cup
1 tablespoon fresh mint, finely chopped, or 1 teaspoon dried

For onion and toppings

1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon coarse black pepper
1 large red onion, peeled and cut into thin wedges
4 ounces goat cheese, crumbled, about 1 cup (optional)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
Use a spiral slicer to cut the beets into thin curls. You can also use a sharp knife and cut the beets into long, thin strips.
Whisk together the olive oil, maple syrup, orange zest, orange juice, mint, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Pour over the beets. Add the red onion wedges and toss together. Place the beets and onions in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. If you don’t have enough room, use 2 baking sheets.
Roast the beets until they are tender and beginning to caramelize on the edges, about 40 minutes.
If using, sprinkle with goat cheese and serve immediately.

Make it My Way:

If you buy the beets with the greens attached, don’t throw the greens away! Chop the greens, toss them with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper, and roast them in a second pan along with your beet noodles. Serve the greens tossed into the roasted noodles. So, so flavorful and good for you too!

The Heart of the Table

A sophisticated, deeply earthy departure from heavy pasta. By spiraling vibrant beets and roasting them until their natural sugars caramelize, this dish transforms root vegetables into an elegant, highly structured side. The sharp bite of the goat cheese and the sweet acid of the orange-maple glaze create a complex balance that elevates the entire dining experience.

Neighborly Grace

THE PRESENTATION: Do not overcrowd the plate. Use tongs to gently twist a tall, structured nest of the glistening beet noodles onto the center of a wide, dark plate. Allow the crumbled white goat cheese to stand out starkly against the deep reds and bright oranges of the root vegetables.
THE POUR: A bone-dry, highly acidic Rosé from Provence, or a crisp Sancerre. The wine must possess enough sharp acidity to cut through the heavy, earthy sweetness of the roasted beets and the sticky maple glaze without being overpowered.
THE VIBE: Bright, refined, and unexpectedly luxurious. This is a brilliant, highly aesthetic side dish designed for a formal garden luncheon or a highly curated autumnal dinner party.
