Roasted Beets with Sesame and MarjoramMichael Graydon & Nikole Herriott
Prettiest when not piled too high; divide the salad over two platters and put one at each end of the table.
Never peel your beets again.
There's no real need to peel beets—or carrots or Jerusalem artichokes, for that matter. Instead, lightly scrub with a vegetable brush or a new scouring pad under running water. The farm-fresh look adds visual appeal, making any beet or carrot—or Jerusalem artichoke— dish that much more sophisticated.
