Ingredients

  • 6 medium beets, tops removed, scrubbed well
  • Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 400°F.

  2. 2

    Place each beet on a piece of foil. Drizzle generously with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Wrap the beets in the foil, place on a baking sheet, and roast for 35 to 60 minutes, or until fork-tender. The timing will depend on the size and freshness of the beets.

  3. 3

    Remove the beets from the oven, remove the foil, and set aside to cool. When the beets are cool to the touch, peel off the skins. I like to hold them under running water and slide the skins off with my hands.

  4. 4

    Cut or slice the beets and drizzle lightly with olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper, toss, and serve. Find more serving suggestions in the blog post above.
