Beet Puree image

Roasting beets intensifies their flavor, but can take a long time. Here they're peeled, cut into small wedges, drizzled with oil, and seasoned with orange, garlic, ginger, and coriander before being wrapped in foil. They pick up flavor from the seasonings and bake in only 30 minutes.

2 pounds fresh beets (without greens), peeled and cut into 1/2-inch-thick wedges

1 tablespoon olive oil
¾ teaspoon finely grated orange zest
3 tablespoons orange juice
