The dill is optional but makes a great partner to the beetroot. You could use thyme instead, added to the beetroot with the honey, or fresh parsley if you prefer.

Ingredients
800 g beetroot, peeled, see GH Tip
2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
4 large clementines
1 Tbsp. cider vinegar
1/2 small red onion, finely sliced
2 Tbsp. runny honey
1 Tbsp. finely chopped dill, optional
Directions
Step 1Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan) mark 6. Cut the beetroot into even wedges; put in roasting tin with 1tbsp oil and some seasoning. Toss to coat. Drizzle over 1tbsp water, then cover tin tightly with foil. Roast for 30min until just tender but still firm.
Step 2Meanwhile, take 2 clementines. Finely grate the zest of both and squeeze the juice from 1. Mix in a small bowl with the cider vinegar, red onion and remaining oil. Cover and set aside.
Step 3Working one at a time, slice the top and bottom off remaining 2 whole clementines and the 1 zested clementine and place on a board. Cut away peel and white pith. Hold over a bowl (to catch the juice) and carefully cut between membranes to separate segments. Put segments in the juice, cover and set aside.
Step 4Uncover the beetroot, drizzle with the honey and return to the oven for 10min, until cooked through. Pour over the onion mixture and toss gently to coat. Check seasoning.
Step 5To serve, tip beetroot into a serving dish. Drain reserved clementine segments (discarding juice) and scatter over, then sprinkle with dill, if using.
GH TIP Use disposable gloves when preparing beetroot, to prevent stained hands.
