Roasted Beets
These roasted beets are tender, sweet, and easy to make with just olive oil, salt, and pepper. Serve them warm as a side dish or chill them for salads.
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 375°F.
-
Wash beets under cold water and cut off the top and bottom. Cut beets in half and toss with olive oil, salt & pepper.
-
Lay out a large piece of aluminum foil, top it with a piece of parchment paper. Wrap and seal beets. (Or place beets in a greased baking dish and cover).
-
Roast the foil package for 60 to 75 minutes or until beets are tender when poked with a fork.
-
Using rubber gloves or paper towels, rub the beets and the skins will just slide right off.
-
Serve warm with butter or chilled in salads.
Notes
Beets can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 7 days, or in the freezer for up to 6 months.
