One of my favorite summer vegetables are golden beets. They have a softer taste than red beets and are delicious alone, paired with goat cheese or in a variety of summer salads. When I see them at the Union Square Green Market, I have to buy them. They take a little bit of preparation to get them ready to eat.
Golden Beets

- Cook Time: 45 min
- Total Time: 1 hour
- Category: Salad
- Method: Bake
Ingredients
Golden Beets
Instructions
- Preheat oven 425 degrees
- Cut off the greens and root tail.
- Wrap the beets in foil and place in a foil lined baking dish. I do this because the beets’ juice can seep through the foil and burn the bottom of your baking dish.
- Bake in the oven for about 50 minutes.
- Let the beets cool so that you do not burn your fingers as you remove the skin.
- Peel the skin with a paring knife.
I like to slice the beets and drizzle some homemade Italian vinaigrette on them or slice and add to salads.

I would combine the pale and the purple… add some thinly sliced onion… some feta… why do I always read your posts first thing in the morning??!!
I am going to try this. Hopefully, I can get the recipe for the vinaigrette dressing.
I love that fresh market shot at the top!! Great post ~ xo Laura
Gorgeous. I didn’t know that beets could come in a different color other than purple!

I am not a beet fan but have never tried the golden variety. After reading this, I might have to remedy that!
