Ingredients
  

  • 8 red beets medium size

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Wash and scrub the beets well and cut off the stems. There's no need to peel the beets at this time.
  • Wrap the beets individually in aluminum foil and place them on the baking sheet. Roast the beets for 1 hour or until tender when poked with a fork or a skewer.
  • Once beets are done roasting, remove the tray from oven and let the beets cool down. Unwrap each beet and set aside until cool enough to handle.
  • Remove the skin from the beets using a vegetable peeler or a small knife. You can also rub the skins off really easily using a paper towel.
  • Roasted beets can be easily sliced, diced or grated.
  • Season them with a simple dash of salt and drizzle of oil and vinegar.

Notes

  • Choose beets that are heavy for their size with green tops still attached. Select small to medium sized beets that are round and firm.
  • Use food prep gloves to protect your hands from stain when peeling and slicing. Red beats have a pretty intense color and the have the tendency to stain your skin and fingernails.
  • Enjoy!
