Easy Aromatic Roasted Beets Recipes

SIMPLE ROASTED BEETS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Cut off the leafy tops of the beets, leaving about 1/2 inch of stem, and reserve them for another use. Wash the beets well to remove all of the sand.
• Toss the beets with the oil, 1 tablespoon water, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Transfer the beets to a large piece of foil, add the herb sprig if using and wrap the foil up into a packet. Put the packet on a baking sheet and roast until fork-tender, 40 to 50 minutes depending on the size of the beets. Carefully open the packet, watching out for steam. Let the beets cool for 5 minutes, then peel while still warm by rubbing off the skins with paper towels.
• Slice and dress the beets as desired and serve.

Steps:

• Wrap each beet in foil and roast in a 400 degree oven for approximately 1 hour (depending on the size of the beets). Test for doneness by inserting a paring knife into the beet.
• Remove from oven and let stand for a few minutes. Unwrap, and use a paring knife to gently peel the skin away.
