How to Make Beet Salad
This section shows how to make a beet salad with goat cheese, with step-by-step photos and details about the technique to help you visualize it.For full instructions, including quantities and temperatures, see Recipe card below.
- Season the beets. In a large bowl, toss the diced beets with the olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Roasted beets. Arrange them in one Baking pan In single layer. (If you like, you can line it with aluminum foil for easier cleanup.) Bake in the oven, turning halfway through, until tender and caramelized.


Tip: Don’t crowd the pot.
Ideally, each piece should touch the pot. This will ensure the beets roast quickly and evenly, with a bit of caramelization around the edges.
