Ingredients
1 pound (3 to 4 medium) beets
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
Directions
- Wash hands with soap and water.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Scrub beets under running water using a clean vegetable brush.
- Trim the stem and root ends of each beet to about one inch. Place the beets on a piece of foil, drizzle with oil and seal edges closed. Foil keeps the beets moist and makes clean-up easy.
- Place the beets on a baking sheet. Roast for 45 to 60 minutes until they can be pierced to the center with a dull knife. Open foil carefully when testing for doneness.
- When beets are cool enough to handle, slice off ends and remove skin, if desired.
- Season with salt and pepper. Serve now or use in another recipe.
- Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours.
Notes
- Try adding other seasonings such as thyme or cumin.
