- Heat the oven to 375°F|190°C. Gently clean beets with a vegetable scrubber and remove greens (these can be used in a salad or pesto). To roast them, place in a deep baking dish in a ¼-inch of water with a dash of vinegar and salt. Cover with tin foil and roast until tender, about 1 ½ to 2 hours. Cool completely. Once the beets are cool, rub the skin off with a towel, and quarter.
- Light a grill and grill the quartered beets until blistered all around, roughly 15 minutes.
- To serve, spread the labne on a serving plate. Place beets on the labne and spoon calabrian chile and the preserving oil over. Cover with torn herbs and serve.
