Servings: persons

1 bunch medium red beets (about 4 beets)
1 bunch baby carrots (about 8 carrots)
1 pound gold fingerling potatoes, washed and dried
2 heads garlic, cut through the equator
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1/2 cup raw, shelled pepitas
1 cup creme fraiche
1/4 cup prepared horseradish
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper

1
For the vegetables: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
2
Trim the stems off the beets and lightly scrub with a vegetable brush - this will remove the tough outer layer.
3
Quarter the beets and set aside.
4
Trim the carrots (leaving a little of the stem on), and then cut in half crosswise.
5
Add all the vegetables and the potatoes to a roasting pan along with the garlic head halves.
6
Drizzle with the olive oil and season well with salt and pepper.
7
Roast in the oven until golden brown and tender, about 45 minutes (the tip of a paring knife should pierce a potato and go through with little resistance).
8
For the spicy pepitas: In a large mixing bowl, combine the lemon juice, olive oil, chili powder, cumin and some salt and pepper.
9
Add the pepitas and mix well so they are evenly coated.
10
Toast in the oven until the pepitas are lightly browned, 7 to 10 minutes.
11
For the horseradish creme fraiche: Stir together the creme fraiche and horseradish and season with salt and pepper.
12
Refrigerate until ready to serve.
13
To serve, place the roasted root vegetables on a large platter.
14
Drizzle with the horseradish creme fraiche and garnish with spicy pepitas.
