Roasted Golden Beet Salad with Pea Shoots and Fennel Fronds

INGREDIENTS:

  • 2 pounds baby golden beets, scrubbed, tops and root ends trimmed

  • ¼ cup olive oil, divided

  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

  • Pea shoots (tendrils), fennel fronds, and flaky sea salt (for serving)

PREPARATION:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°. Place beets in a shallow baking dish. Drizzle with 2 Tbsp. oil; season with kosher salt and pepper. Add ½ cup water and roast until beets are tender and a paring knife inserted into the center meets no resistance, 50–60 minutes. Let beets cool slightly, then peel.

  2. Cut beets in half and arrange on a platter. Whisk lemon juice, vinegar, and remaining 2 Tbsp. oil in a small bowl; drizzle over beets. Garnish with pea shoots and fennel fronds and season with flaky sea salt.
