Add the red beets and red onion to the bowl and toss with the remaining olive oil and salt. Place them on the other side of the pan. (You can create a border by folding a sheet of aluminum foil and wedging it between the edges of the sheet pan crosswise to create two distinct sections; this helps keep the red beets from bleeding into the other vegetables.)<\/p>\n<p>Roast until browned on the bottom, about 20 minutes. Shake the pan, and flip the vegetables with a spatula, taking care to keep the red beets separated from the other vegetables. Continue to roast until tender, about 10 minutes more. Remove from the oven and set aside. (The roasted roots will keep at room temperature for up to 6 hours, or in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in a warm oven until they lose their chill, 10 minutes, before proceeding.)<\/p>\n<p>To make the salad, place the olive oil in a small pan with the ginger and coriander and cook over medium heat until the ginger is fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Stir in the honey and cook for 20 seconds more. Turn off the heat and pour the honey mixture into a large bowl. Whisk in the sherry vinegar, salt, and pepper until the dressing is creamy, about 10 seconds. Pour half the vinaigrette into a small bowl and set aside. To the remaining vinaigrette in the bowl add the spinach and herbs and toss to combine.<\/p>\n<p>Arrange the dressed greens on a platter and scatter the roasted vegetables over the top. Drizzle with the reserved vinaigrette, sprinkle with pistachios, and serve.<\/p>\n<p><\/div>\n<p class=\"author-credit\">Reprinted with permission from Sheet Pan Suppers Meatless: 100 Surprising Vegetarian Meals Straight from the Oven by Raquel Pezel. \u00a92017 Workman Publishing.
