We love the flavor and texture of roasted beets. After they're tender, it's super-easy to rub off the skins with some paper towels. Combine them with sliced shallots, fresh mint leaves, olive oil, white balsamic vinegar, and some orange zest, and this showstopper of a side dish is ready to go. The savory beets pair well with citrusy orange and tangy mint, and when mixed all together is an explosion of color and texture. This dish goes nicely with grilled chicken breasts, pork chops, or white fish. You can use a variety of beets to dress it up and change the presentation: Try golden or yellow beets and chioggia (striped) beets.
