How to Make It

Step 01
Wrap & Roast

Wrap each beet individually in foil with a drizzle of olive oil. Roast at 200ยฐC for 45 minutes. Cool, then rub skins off with the foil. Keep red and golden beets separate โ€” red will bleed into gold.

Step 02
Segment Oranges

Supreme the blood oranges: cut top and bottom, remove skin with knife following the curve, then cut between membranes to release segments. Catch the juice โ€” it goes in the dressing.

Step 03
Toast Hazelnuts

Roast hazelnuts at 180ยฐC for 8 minutes. Roll in a towel to remove skins. Roughly crush. The warm, earthy nut is essential contrast to the sweet acid beet and citrus.

Step 04
Assemble & Dress

Slice beets into rounds or wedges. Arrange on rocket. Add orange segments. Crumble goat cheese. Scatter hazelnuts. Drizzle pomegranate molasses dressing. Serve immediately โ€” keep red and gold beets separate until plating.
