Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound plum tomatoes, quartered and seeded
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
Coarse salt
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 1/2 pounds trimmed medium red beets (about 4 1/2 pounds with greens)
4 teaspoons fresh orange juice

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Toss tomatoes with thyme, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 tablespoon oil on a rimmed baking sheet. Spread in a single layer on half the sheet. Toss beets with 1 teaspoon salt and remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Wrap beets in parchment and then foil, and add to baking sheet. Roast until beets are tender, 45 to 50 minutes. Let cool slightly. Peel beets, and coarsely chop.
  • Puree tomatoes and beets in a food processor in 2 batches, then combine.
  • Just before serving, stir in orange juice, and season with salt.
