Warmth oven to 375 F. Toss carrots with some olive oil, salt, and chile powder and lay out on a baking sheet.
Put entire beets in a small pan and puncture with the tines of a fork so steam can launch. I don’t like cooking with foil, however you could possibly wrap them with foil for a quicker roast.
Put the beets and carrots within the oven and roast till the beets are tender and the carrots are delicate and beginning to caramelize a bit. Relying on their dimension, they almost definitely can be completed at completely different occasions.
Whereas the beets are nonetheless sizzling however cool sufficient to deal with, use a clear dishtowel to rub off their skins and slice them into wedges and rounds.
Prepare the carrots, beets, and kumquats on a big plate and end with some extra olive oil. (I like our olio nuevo for this because it has a bit extra of a punch and actually works properly with citrus.)
Squeeze half a blood orange over prime and end with some salt and pepper. Different citrus would work properly, however the blood-orange shade is nice with the golden beets. Serve heat.
