Roasted Beets

Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time1 hour
Cooling20 minutes

Equipment

  • Rubber gloves
  • Sheet pan
  • Aluminum Foil

Ingredients

  • 4 medium sized beets, all similar in size

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Line a sheet pan in foil. You'll thank me for this.
  • If there are tops cut off but leave a bit as a handle to hold.
  • Clean beets but don't dry.
  • Wrap each beet loosely but completely in foil. You want an airtight envelope so that they can steam while roasting.
  • Put all beets on the lined sheet-pan and put into the oven until tender; should take about an hour but you might want to check after 45 minutes or so depending on your oven and the size of the beets.
  • Let cool for 15 minutes then trim the stems and root ends.
  • Using a paper towel or gloves rub the skins off. If they don't rub off, may have to use a vegetable peeler.
  • Quarter, slice, or cube for whatever you're using them for.
