Notes
This dish is very quick and simple to construct, the reason for the 1 hour cook time is taking into consideration the time to roast the beets if you aren’t buying them precooked.
Here is now to roast your beets:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash the beets thoroughly and trim off the stems and roots.
- Place the beets on aluminum foil and drizzle them with olive oil. You can also season them with salt and pepper if desired.
- Wrap each beet individually in the aluminum foil ensuring they're tightly sealed and place of baking sheet.
- Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast the beets for about 45-60 minutes, depending on their size. They're done when they're tender and easily pierced with a fork.
- Once roasted, let the beets cool slightly before handling. Then, use a paper towel to rub off the skin—the skin should easily peel away.
- Slice or chop the roasted beets as desired.
