Ingredients
- 4 lbs beets a mixture of about 6 medium to large beets.
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
Instructions
- Chop the stem and root (tail) off using a sharp knife.
- Soak the beets in a bowl of cold water for a couple of minutes and then scrub their skins. A new, vegetable only dish scrubby sponge is ideal.
- Brush the tops and sides of the beets with oil and add salt evenly over the beets
- Cover with foil and place in a pre heated 400° F / 205° C oven for 45 to 60 minutes until done. Cut up Beets will require less cooking time.
- When done, remove Beets from the oven. Allow to cool before handling.
- If you want to remove the skins, use a piece of kitchen paper to help grip the beet, and scrap away the skin with a paring knife.
- Once peeled, cut Beets into whatever shape you would like - chunks, wedges, rounds.
