Everyone loves the tangy dressing on these mouthwatering baked beets. Iâm always asked to bring this pretty dish to family gatherings.Barbara Van Lanen, Salinas, California Ingredients:
12 whole fresh beets (about 2-1/2 pounds), peeled and halved |
5 tablespoons olive oil, divided |
1 large red onion, chopped |
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar |
1/3 cup red wine vinegar |
1/4 cup sugar |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon dried basil |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
Directions:
1. Place beets in a large resealable plastic bag; add 2 tablespoons oil. Seal bag and shake to coat. Place an 18-in. x 12-in. piece of heavy-duty foil in a 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Arrange beets on foil; fold foil over beets and seal tightly. Bake at 400° for 1 to 1-1/4 hours or until tender.
2. Cool to room temperature. Cut beets into cubes; place in a large bowl. Add onion. In a small bowl, whisk the vinegars, sugar, salt, basil, pepper and remaining oil.
3. Pour over beet mixture; gently toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, stirring several times. Serve with a slotted spoon. Yield: 9 servings.
