Perhaps you are looking for a simple, easy, delicious way to get some more color (and vitamins) into your life. Well look no further my friend! Ok, keep looking further, but also try this recipe!
ROASTED BEETS
4 beets, washed. Make sure you get beets that are all about the same size and shape or they won't cook at the same rate.
Olive oil
Salt & pepper
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F
Wrap each beet in foil, place in a rimmed baking receptacle. Make sure that if you drop a beet, you immediately yell out, "beet down!"
Bake for 45 min to 1 hour (mine took a little longer, but I neglected to preheat the oven) until a skewer can be easily inserted into the side. Let stand for 10 minutes.
Take beet out of foil and place in the center of 2 or 3 paper towels. Use the towels to gently rub off the skin. Slice the skinned beets, drizzle on a little olive oil, season with salt and pepper.
Note: Does anyone know if this could be accomplished in the microwave to cut down on cooking time?
I've tried roasted beets one time ... yum !!
