You can roast more than one colour of beet, such as golden and red, at the same time. Just remember to wrap each colour individually in foil to prevent them from bleeding into each other. Garnish with fresh tarragon, if available.

Preparation
Separate garlic cloves from head and peel. Wrap garlic and beets in foil or place in covered casserole dish; roast in 375°F (190°C) oven until tender, about 1-1/2 hours. Let cool enough to handle. Peel beets; cut into wedges. Set garlic and beets aside.
(Make-ahead: Cover and refrigerate for up to 1 day.)
Meanwhile, in large skillet, heat oil over medium heat; cook tarragon, salt and pepper, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add beets and garlic; toss gently to coat. Heat through, about 2 minutes.
Additional information : Tip: If you're using smaller beets, reduce the roasting time to 1 hour and leave whole.
