How to Make It

01
Roast the beets

Wrap each beet individually in foil with olive oil. Roast 200°C for 45–50 minutes. Cool 15 minutes. Rub skin off using the foil. Wear gloves — red beets stain everything.

02
Keep colours separate

Slice red and golden beets separately — red bleeds dramatically into gold. Combine only at the last moment on the platter.

03
Toast pecans in honey

Toss pecans with honey and salt in a pan over medium heat 4 minutes until fragrant. Spread on parchment to harden.

04
Layer on platter

Arrange leaves and radicchio. Place beet slices in overlapping layers. Crumble goat cheese. Scatter pecans. Dress with balsamic and walnut oil.
