With just olive oil, a pinch of salt, and the magic of roasting, these roasted beets become tender, caramelized bites of earthy sweetness.
Ingredients :
6 beets or as many as desired
1 tablespoon olive oil about 1 tablespoon for every 4-6 beets
salt and black pepper to taste
Directions :
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 1 hour 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.
