When the air turns crisp and leaves begin to crunch underfoot, the table craves something earthy, warm, and grounding. Roasted beets are fall in their purest form: sweet, jewel-toned roots that soften and deepen as they slow-roast, capturing the essence of the season’s golden light. Here, they meet tangy chèvre, a drizzle of syrupy balsamic reduction, and a scattering of Marcona almonds for crunch. A touch of lemon zest and fresh parsley keep the dish lively, brightening the richness with just the right lift. Rustic and elegant—equally at home at a weeknight supper or a holiday table, celebrating the abundance and warmth of autumn.
