Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon minced fresh thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries, coarsely chopped
  • 8 cups mixed greens
  • 2 ounces goat cheese
  • 2 large beets
  • 8 carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 onions, peeled and sliced into eight wedges

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Wrap beets in foil; roast in a roasting pan for 30 minutes.
  3. In a bowl, toss together carrots, onions, 2 teaspoons oil, thyme and half of the salt and pepper; add to roasting pan. Roast 20 minutes more, or until vegetables are tender.
  4. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, dissolve sugar, honey and mustard in vinegar; add cranberries. Simmer for 5 minutes; whisk in remaining salt, pepper and oil.
  5. Remove from heat. When vegetables are done, remove foil from beets and let cool slightly.
