How to Roast Beets

By Molly Watson, About.com Guide

Serve peeled roasted beets as-is, with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of salt. Or slice and use them in salads (here are 10 Beet Salads to get you started!). Roasted beets are particularly tasty with highly flavored but creamy white cheeses—feta and goat cheese are excellent choices, roasted nuts like walnuts or hazelnuts, and fresh herbs like dill and parsley. I'm always delighted with how well beets work with other sweet fruits and vegetables, particularly oranges, peaches, and tomatoes, which all share a tang within their sweetness that sets off beets quite nicely.
