For a smoother texture, peel the beets after baking while they are still warm. Experiment with different citrus fruits like lemon or grapefruit for a unique twist. A pinch of red pepper flakes can add a subtle heat to complement the sweetness of the beets. Serve as a vibrant side dish alongside roasted meats, poultry, or fish.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Prepare a large sheet of aluminum foil on a rimmed baking sheet. (5 minutes)
02
Step
10 mins
Evenly distribute the beet wedges, garlic slices, and ginger onto the prepared foil. Sprinkle with ground coriander and salt, then drizzle with olive oil. Enclose with another sheet of foil, sealing the edges tightly to create a secure packet. (10 minutes)
03
Step
40 mins
Bake in the preheated oven until the beets are easily pierced with a knife, approximately 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow the beets to steam within the foil packet for an additional 10 minutes to further intensify their flavors. (40 minutes)
04
Step
10 mins
Carefully unwrap the foil packet, and transfer the softened beets, garlic, ginger, and any accumulated juices into a food processor. Add orange zest, orange juice, and apple cider vinegar. Purée until mostly smooth, maintaining a slightly rustic texture with small lumps. Incorporate the butter pieces and continue to purée until fully integrated, resulting in a luscious and creamy purée. (10 minutes)
