Beets, Roasted

By Becky Jo

Ingredients

• Fresh beets, peeled and quartered
• Olive Oil
• Salt & Pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Using a paring knife, peel the beets. Quarter them and place on a large piece of foil on a baking sheet. (Larger beets may need to be cut smaller. You want the pieces to be of similar sizes so they all bake the same length of time.)

Drizzle olive oil over the beets; season with salt and pepper. Toss the beets to combine the oil and seasoning over all.

Loosely wrap the beets up in the foil, creating a pouch; make sure to leave space around so the beets so they have room to steam.

Place in oven for 45 minutes. Open foil pouch so the beets are exposed to the heat, return to the oven for 15 minutes more.

The most difficult part of this recipe…. Waiting for them to sufficiently cool before taking a bite of their deliciousness!
