Method
Preparing the Beets
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Prepare Beets
Wash the golden beets thoroughly to remove any dirt. Trim the tops and tails.
Season Beets
Place the beets on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Roast Beets
Wrap each beet individually in aluminum foil and place them on the baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 45-60 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.
Preparing the Pine Nuts
Complete Toasting
Toast the pine nuts for about 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are golden brown and fragrant. Be careful not to burn them.
Season Pine Nuts
Once toasted, remove from heat and sprinkle with cayenne pepper and salt. Toss to combine.
Assembling the Dish
Peel Beets
Once the beets are roasted, unwrap them and let them cool slightly. Peel the skins off using your hands or a paper towel.
Arrange Beets
Cut the beets into wedges or slices and arrange them on a serving platter.
Add Apple Butter
Drizzle the apple butter over the beets generously.
Top with Cheese
Crumble smoked blue cheese over the top of the beets and apple butter.
Finish with Pine Nuts
Finally, sprinkle the toasted spiced pine nuts over the dish for added crunch.
