Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Cut off the beet leaves close to the tip of the beet and discard the beet greens. Scrub the beets well, then loosely wrap each beet in foil.

Place the wrapped beets on a baking sheet lined with Reynolds Wrap Aluminum Foil. Roast for 50-60 minutes. Check the beets about every 20 minutes, and if they look dry or are scorching on the bottoms, drizzle a tablespoon of water over the beets before rewrapping. The beets are done when a fork or skewer slides easily into the center.

Let the beets cool until they are comfortable to handle. Hold a beet in a paper towel and rub the skin off with the edges of the towel. The skin should come off easily; if not, the beets likely need a bit more cooking. Slice the peeled beets into wedges.

Arrange the beet wedges, mache, goat cheese, avocado, and shaved fennel on a large serving platter and drizzle with basil vinaigrette. Sprinkle the pepitas on top and serve right away.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe
easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.
The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.
Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.
Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
