4 large beets, peeled and quartered
2 oranges, peeled and segmented
2 tablespoons orange juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon orange zest
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
2 tablespoon lemon juice
½ tsp. salt
1/4 cup walnuts, shelled and broken in half lengthwise


Instructions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Peel the beets quarter them and in a large bowl toss the beets with 1 tablespoon olive oil and place them on a cookie sheet.  Sprinkle with salt and pepper and roast at 425º for 20 minutes, turn beets over and roast another 20 minutes or until tender.
