Transfer to a bowl and stir in 2 tablespoons store-bought roasted sesame seeds and 1½ tablespoons za’atar. Add ⅓ cup panko bread crumbs and cook, stirring frequently, until the bread crumbs turn golden, 3 to 5 minutes. To make the za’atar-sesame crispies, heat 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. While the beets are roasting prep the rest of the salad ingredients. Slice some of the beets in thick rounds and other in halves or quarters (this will create some fun, textural elements in your salad). Open the beets and using your fingers gently peel the beets, discarding the skin. Remove from the oven and allow to sit, wrapped in the foil, until cool enough to handle, 20 to 30 minutes. (If you’re using large beets, this could take up to 1 hour, 30 minutes.) (Sealing them in separate foil pouches will prevent the red beets from bleeding onto the other beets.) Place the beet pouch(es) on a baking sheet and roast until the beets are fully cooked through and can be easily pierced with a paring knife, 40 to 45 minutes for smaller beets and 50 to 55 minutes for medium beets. Then, fold the outside ends in to create a sealed pouch. If creating multiple pouches, just eyeball dividing the oil and salt between them.įold two sides of the foil up, so they meet in the middle and fold down to seal. Drizzle 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil over the beets and sprinkle evenly with 1½ teaspoons Diamond Crystal or ¾ teaspoon Morton’s kosher salt. If using one type of beet, place them all in the center of one large piece of aluminum foil. If using multiple colors of beets, divide them between multiple large pieces of aluminum foil, placing the beets in the center of each piece of foil. Wash and scrub any dirt off 1¼ pounds small-to-medium beets (no need to dry them completely, that residual water will help them steam). That being said, you can roast your own at 350☏ for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring them halfway through (just keep an eagle eye on them!). They add instant roasty-toasty goodness with just a shake, and eliminate the chance of forgetting and burning a whole batch of sesame seeds in the oven. Store-bought roasted sesame seeds-which you can find at your local Korean supermarket-are one of my pantry powerhouses. Many za’atar spice blends have sesame seeds in them already, so adding extra nuttiness and crunch via more sesame seeds seemed like a no-brainer. I like my dressing bright and bracing-but, if you like a softer acidity, dial the lemon juice down to 2 tablespoons. Preserved lemon is one of my favorite pairings with beets, adding a layered salinity that perfectly balances their sweetness. When roasted, this root veggie’s inherent, honeyed earthiness gets even more concentrated, so bold, zippy partners are welcome to the party (we’re lookin’ at you feta).
