Beets Done Right

Side

About this Recipe

Beets- you either love em or hate em. And I find that most people who hate them are only accustomed to having them served straight out of a can in the 50’s. Or boiled into oblivion. These ain’t ya grandma’s beets. They’re subtly sweet but earthy, and pair so nicely with a balsamic glaze, a peppery green, and a creamy cheese. Toss in some candied nuts for good measure.

Ingredients

4 Large Beets (whole)
1 Tbsp. Olive Oil

Ingredients

4 Large Beets (whole)
1 Tbsp. Olive Oil

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Wash the beets and remove the stems but don’t peel them.

Step 2

Spray them with oil and wrap them tightly in tinfoil. Bake wrapped beets for 35-45 minutes until easily pierced with a fork.

Step 3

Allow the beets to cool completely and the skins should just slide right off. Salt and pepper to taste. Dice or slice them to have as a side with some balsamic or add to an arugula goat cheese salad.
