Step by Step Method

Step 1

Peel beets and carrots and cut up in 1 1/2 inch chunks. Place carrots in small saucepan and cover with water by 1 inch and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Boil till tender. Then drain and cover to keep warm, as they won't take as long as the beets. After placing carrots on to boil, place onions in skillet with olive oil and cook on low for about 30 minutes to caramelize. Place beets in separate saucepan, add orange juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and enough water to cover beets by 1 inch. Boil till tender. Drain almost all liquid, but leave about 1/4 cup in the pan with the beets.

Step 2

Pour maple syrup over beets and add grated ginger and salt and pepper to taste. Boil down to reduce by half. Add cooked carrots and caramelized onions. Stir and cook another minute or two to heat up carrots if they cooled down. Add butter to melt and stir to combine.

Step 3

Plate up and add crumbled goat cheese over beets and carrots.
