Simple Roasted Beets with Pistachios and Chives
Let the oven do all the work! Fresh beets are roasted and caramelized in a dutch oven then topped with sour cream, chopped pistachios and fresh chives for outrageous flavor with minimal effort!
Ingredients
- 6 medium size beets I like to mix gold with red - you can use as many beets as your pot holds, but don't overcrowd them.
- ⅓ cup pistachios crushed
- 1 bunch chives roughly chopped
- ½ cup sour cream
- 2 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
- coarse salt
- pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 F.
- After preparing beets (see tips for preparation), lightly salt and oil the skin of the beets and place in a Dutch oven or roasting pan with a lid. (alternatively, you can wrap in aluminum foil as stated above in "tips."
- Roast beets for about an 1 hour to 1hour and 15 min. until fork tender (times may vary depending on size of beets).
- Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
- Slice the beets in half.
- Add pistachios and chives.
- Serve with a drizzle of olive oil over top, sour cream* and salt/pepper to taste.
