Ingredients

6 small beets (about 2 pounds), scrubbed

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, preferably white

1 tablespoon finely grated peeled fresh ginger

Salt and pepper

1/2 cup shelled pistachios, toasted and chopped

Preparation

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wrap beets in parchment-lined foil and place on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast until tender, 45 to 60 minutes. Let cool briefly, then rub with a paper towel to remove skins. Cut into 3/4-inch wedges.

In a large bowl, whisk together oil, vinegar, and ginger; season with salt and pepper. Toss beets in dressing and sprinkle with pistachios.
