After getting a few questions from some friends after posting on facebook that I was going to roast some beets the other day, I realized that not everyone is as in love with beets as my family is…
Oven Roasted Beets Tutorial
First, wash your beets and cut off the tops and bottoms.
Place the beets on a double layer of aluminum foil, drizzle with olive oil and top with lots of salt & freshly ground black pepper.
Wrap up the foil into a nice little package, place on a baking sheet to catch any accidental drips, and bake in a preheated 400ºF oven for about an hour – depending on the size of the beets, or until you can easily stab a beet with a fork.
Peel the roasted beets with a spoon or your hands (be careful of staining!!), cut up and serve with more salt & pepper, if desired!
Aren’t they gorgeous little gems?? How could anything so pretty not be great?!
