Ingredients

Fresh beets, peeled and quartered
Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper

Preparation

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2
Using a paring knife, peel the beets. Quarter them and place on a large piece of foil on a baking sheet. (Larger beets may need to be cut smaller. You want the pieces to be of similar sizes so they all bake the same length of time.)
3
Drizzle olive oil over the beets; season with salt and pepper. Toss the beets to combine the oil and seasoning over all.
4
Loosely wrap the beets up in the foil, creating a pouch; make sure to leave space around so the beets so they have room to steam.
5
Place in oven for 45 minutes. Open foil pouch so the beets are exposed to the heat, return to the oven for 15 minutes more.
6
The most difficult part of this recipe…. Waiting for them to sufficiently cool before taking a bite of their deliciousness!

About

Do you like beets? Have you ever tried roasting fresh beets? They are DE-LI-CIOUS. Beets are good for you; sweet and tasty and fantastic. Last week I bought some fresh beets from our weekly farmers market. On Sunday I prepared them; roasting their garnet goodness in the oven for about 1 hour. I devoured them. My poor husband only got a few of the quartered tasty morsels. Thankfully my son wouldn't even try them. I was happy with that, although I tried to entice him to taste them, because it meant more beets for ME !! Gotta run, must go back to the farmers market today!!
