Directions

Prep 15 minCook 55 min

1
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. After cleaning your beets, place each one in a small foil packet and rub with the olive oil. Close up the packets and roast the beets for 40-45 minutes, until fork tender.
2
Open up the packets a bit so they come to room temperature, then once they are cool enough to handle, rub the beets with a paper towel or just your hands to remove the skins
3
Once the skins have been removed, cube the beets into bite-sized pieces. In a small bowl, whisk together the blood orange juice, zest, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, salt, and a pinch of cayenne powder. Place the cubed beets and sliced fennel on a rimmed baking sheet, then toss with the balsamic mixture.
4
Place the tray back into the oven and roast for an additional 10-12 minutes, until the fennel is tender. Garnish with a little sea salt and serve hot, or cool and serve as a cold or room temperature salad.
