Really Big Beets image

Here is a show-stopping main course to please vegans and vegetarians - and one that even meat-eaters will want to eat. Diana Jarvis, a Manhattan resident who submitted this recipe to the Well blog's Vegetarian Thanksgiving feature in 2014, says to roast the beets for a long time, to achieve a giant, steak-like fist of vegetable, rich and salty-sweet. One hour works - two hours is better.
