Ingredients

  • Fresh Beets
  • Olive Oil

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Cut off the beet greens. Scrub the beets under cold, running water until clean. Blot dry with paper towels.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut off both ends of the beets. Cut them in half if large or quarter them if very large. Place beet chunks on a large sheet of heavy duty foil. Drizzle with olive oil. Enclose the beets in the foil, sealing tightly. Place foil packet on a rimmed baking sheet and transfer baking sheet to the oven.
  • Roast for 45 to 55 minutes, or until fork tender. Remove from oven and allow to cool. When beets are cool enough to handle, use a paper towel to easily remove peels.
  • Store beets in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Notes

Be sure to roast different colored beets in separate foil packets.
Feel free to add a bit of salt if desired.
