How to Roast Beets

Roasted beets have a sweeter, deeper flavor than their boiled brethren and their peels slip off like an over-sized sweater.

1. Preheat oven to 375. Rinse beets clean and place on a large sheet of aluminum foil.
2. Drizzle beets with a tablespoon or two of vegetable or olive oil. Sprinkle with salt, if you like. Fold foil over beets and seal package shut.
3. Bake until beets are tender. The amount of time will vary greatly on size of the beets, number of beets, and how fresh the beets are, anywhere from 25 to 60 minutes.
4. Let sit until cool enough to handle, peel, and use as you like!
