Ingredients

• 3 1/2 pound(s) assorted medium-sized fresh beets, greens trimmed and washed
• 1/4 cup(s) olive oil
• 1 teaspoon(s) coarse sea salt, such as Maldon
• 1/2 teaspoon(s) freshly ground pepper
• 1 tablespoon(s) fresh lemon juice

Preparation

Step 1

Heat the oven to 400 degrees F. Coat the beets with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and wrap with foil.
Place beets in a medium roasting pan and bake until tender when pierced with a fork – about 45 minutes.
Unwrap the beets and let cool for 10 minutes. Slip off the skins with a paring knife.
Cut them into quarters and toss with the remaining olive oil, salt, pepper and lemon juice.
Serve warm or room
