Maple roasted beets
A maple roasted beet is a flavorful way to enjoy this deep red root veg. Add them to a salad with vegan goat cheese, buttery Marcona almonds, and a bright kale chiffonade salad for a richly flavored and multi textured entree or side.
Pair it with a crisp cool summer white wine and a chair outside in the sun and you have one of my go to summer dinners.

Maple Roasted Beet Salad with Vegan Goat Cheese
A bright and fresh salad with layers of flavor - rich roasted beets, crunchy salty marconas, creamy tangy goat cheese.
Ingredients
- 2 medium size beets
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- juice of 1 lemon
- 2 servings kale chiffonade salad (chiffonade method here)
- 4 tablespoons Marcona almonds
- 2 tablespoons vegan goat cheese, crumbled
Instructions
- Scrub beets and slice thin, then chop each slice into quarters.
- Place a piece of foil on a baking sheet, pile beets in center of foil. Whisk together maple syrup, olive oil and lemon juice, pour over beets. Gather all sides/corners of foil, crimping closed.
- Roast beets in 350 degree oven for 20 minutes for crunchy beets, 30-35 minutes for softer beets.
- Take care in opening the foil packet, as steam will escape when opened.
- Using tongs or fork, serve atop a kale chiffonade salad, with vegan goat cheese (or vegan cheese of choice) and marcona almonds.

Heather @ Better With Veggies says
So what you're saying is you're taunting us with an amazing recipe, but we have to wait for the goat cheese post to actually make it?! Such a tease! 😉
spabettie says
heh heh. I better get on that, because ONE of the caperberry things I'm doing MAY have the goat cheese again... 😉
Isa says
tease tease! can't wait to see the cheese, did you use the Irish moss again?
spabettie says
I did, but just a little! I wanted it to kinda hold together, but was going for a consistency of the soft goat cheese, so it could be optional. recipe coming soon! 😉
Ute says
this is a striking salad, very pretty! I like beets when they are fresh. I had to recover from a childhood of horrible canned beets yuck!
intrigued by a vegan goat cheese, hope you share that soon?
spabettie says
ACK, canned beets! 😉 not a fan here either. I will share the goat cheese soon, I promise!

This salad looks amazing! But I almost forgot about those thumbprint cookies! I saw you post them before & I just realized I forgot to pin them! They're pinned now 😀 hehe. Chocolate, whiskey, & PINK, I'm all over it <3
spabettie says
those thumbprints are so fun - I love the color beets can give, the pink and brown are so fun! and yeah, chocolate and whiskey AND pink? my head just exploded.

Sarena (The Non-Dairy Queen) says
I need to roast beets! These sound amazing! It's been so long since I played with beets. The last time I did anything with them, I smoked them. It was amazing! I need to get at that again!
spabettie says
I just bought myself a (stovetop) smoker, I need to play with it!! smoked beets sound GOOD. I always have beets in my fridge (daily juice!), but I forget how much I like to roast them - SO good. and honestly, they don't even need the maple syrup - so sweet by themselves!
