Ingredients

• 4 medium sized beets
• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 1 whole lemon
• 2 cups arugula
• 2 tablespoons capers
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Wash the beets thoroughly and wrap them individually in aluminum foil. Roast in the preheated oven for about 35-45 minutes or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 3

While the beets are roasting, prepare the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, the juice of the lemon, sea salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Once the beets are done roasting, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, peel the beets and slice them very thinly with a sharp knife or mandoline.

Step 5

Arrange the beet slices in a single layer on a large plate or a platter. Drizzle half of the prepared dressing over the beets, ensuring they are well coated.

Step 6

Top the dressed beet slices with a handful of arugula, a sprinkling of capers, and shaved Parmesan cheese.

Step 7

Drizzle the remaining dressing over the top and garnish with a sprinkling of freshly chopped parsley.

Step 8

Serve immediately, allowing your guests to enjoy the savory, tangy, and earthy flavors of this vegetarian carpaccio.
