Author Notes
I always think I love beets. They make any dish more beautiful with their deep magenta color and jewel-like sheen. But, I've come to terms with the fact that I really only love them in small doses, and this sandwich fits the bill perfectly. The beets' earthy, caramelized sweetness is balanced by creamy brie, toasty walnuts, fresh lettuce and basil, and a dash of vinegar.
A note about roasting beets: I like to peel mine when they're raw, wrap them individually in foil, and roast them in a 425-degree oven. Depending on their size, it takes 45-60 minutes to get them to fork-tender stage. —sgpinson
