Roasting beets takes some time in the oven but it's so little trouble and they're
so much better than beets from a can.
1) Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Farenheight.
2) Wrap the beets individually in aluminum foil and place them on a sheet
pan. Roast them for 50 minutes to 1 hour, depending on their size, until
a small sharp knife inserted in the middle indicates that they are tender.
3) Unwrap each beet and set asie for 10 minutes, until cool enough to
handle.
4) Place the almonds on a sheet pan and roast for 10 minutes, turning
once, until they are lightly browned. Sprinkle with salt and set aside.
5) Peel the beets with a small sharp knife over a piece of parchment
paper to prevent staining your cutting board.
6) Meanwhile, whisk together the vinegar, olive oil, mustard, 2 teaspoons
salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper and set aside.
7) While the beets are still warm, cut each one in half and then each
half into 4 to 6 wedges and place them in a large mixing bowl. As
you're cutting the beets, toss them with half of the vinaigrette (warm
beets absorb more vinaigrette), 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon
pepper. Taste for seasonings.
8) Place the arugula in a separate bowl and toss it with enough vinai-
grette to moisten. Put the arugula on a serving platter and then
arrange the beets, almonds, and goat cheese on top. Drizzle with
additional vinaigrette, if desired, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and
serve warm or at room temperature.
