- 4 medium beets, peeled and cut in half
- 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon white sesame seeds
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons sambal oelek (or sriracha)
- Seaweed salad, to garnish
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Place beets on a jelly roll pan lined with aluminum foil and drizzle on olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and toss a bit to combine. Roast in oven for about 40 minutes, or until you can easily pierce the beets with a fork. Remove and place in refrigerator until cold to the touch, at least 30 minutes.
Remove the cold beets from the refrigerator and cut into cubes. Place in a medium mixing bowl. Add green onions, soy sauce, sesame seeds, sesame oil and sambal oelek and toss to combine. Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with seaweed salad. This dish is best served cold.
