Ingredients

  • 1 garlic (head, unpeeled)
  • 280 g beets (about 3 medium)
  • 1/2 T extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 T chopped tarragon (fresh)
  • 1/8 t salt
  • 1/8 t pepper

Method

Remove outer skin layer from garlic heads.  Wrap garlic and beets in foil or place in covered casserole dish.  Roast in 375F oven until tender, about 1.5 hours.

Remove from oven, let cool enough to handle.  Peel beets and cut into wedges.  Set garlic and beets aside.

In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat, cook tarragon, salt, and pepper, stirring, for 2 minutes.  Add beets and garlic, toss gently to coat.  Heat through, about 2 minutes.  Serve!

Notes

Could also put all ingredients in a foil pouch / casserole dish in the oven for a casserole-type dish, if desired.

SJ Note 15 Oct 2009: When we tried this, the beets burnt.  Be sure to check on them frequently (if I try this again, I'll start checking on them at the 30 minute mark).
