Roasted Red and Golden Beets

This is a beautiful salad and a great mix of flavours. For the leaves, he gives three choices. I'd recommend going with a green with a bit of bitterness to serve as a nice contrast to the sweeter beets and maple syrup. If you don't have chervil, parsley will also work nicely in this dish.

Roasted Red and Golden Beets (from Ottolenghi)

Ingredients
500g golden beets (I just used all red)
500g red beets
80g sunflower seeds
90ml maple syrup
4 tbsp sherry vinegar
4 tbsp olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
20g chervil leaves
60g baby arugula, chard, or spinach

1. Preheat oven to 400F. Wash beets and wrap in foil. Bake in oven until tender, 40 - 90 minutes.
2. Spread sunflower seeds out in an ovenproof dish and toast alongside the beets for 8 minutes.
3. Once they have cooled some, unwrap beets and peel. Cut into quarters (or smaller pieces if your beets are large).
4. Mix beets with rest of ingredients in a bowl. Sprinkle with salt and pepper as needed.
