Ingredients

  • 1 pound beets

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scrub the beets clean.
  • Cut off the top greens and the bottom root. Wrap them individually in aluminum foil. Bake for 1 hour.
  • After an hour, insert with a toothpick. If you can insert it easily, they are done. If not, bake for another 10 to 15 minutes (depending on the size of the beet) until you can insert the toothpick easily.
  • After cooking, allow them to cool to the touch, then gently peel off the skin and discard. Slice and use to top salads or enjoy on their own!
