Notes
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Scrub all the dirt off the outside of the beets.
- Trim the top leaves and bottom smaller roots.
- Rub each beet with olive oil and wrap each one individually with foil making sure to completely cover it.
- Put the beets on a baking sheet and bake for 60-75 minutes or until the largest beet is finished cooking.
- You can test the doneness of the beets by piercing the largest beet with a paring knife. If it’s soft and goes in easily, it’s done!
- Allow the beets to fully cool in their foil packets.
- Then remove the foil and run the beet under cool water. The skin should slip off easily.
- Voila! Fresh roasted beets!
