Roasted Beets

By norsegal8

Roasted beets bleed very little when cut, so they can also be used in recipes. Just remember that the dish will take on a sweet and very distinct roasted flavor.

Ingredients

• 1 bunch beets, about 2 pounds, greens removed and reserved for another use, leaving a 1-inch beet top; beets washed thoroughly
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (if roasting without foil)

Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Wrap beets in foil or brush with olive oil and place in small roasting pan. Roast until beets can easily be pierced with thin knife or trussing needle, about 1 hour for small to medium beets. Cool slightly and remove skins; serve.
