Ingredients

  • 1 large bunch of beets

Instructions

  • Cut the beet greens off of the beets, leaving ½ inch at the top. Save the beet greens for another recipe.
  • Scrub the beets clean, poke 2-3 times with a fork and wrap tightly in aluminum foil. Roast in a 400°F oven until tender, about 75-90 minutes, depending on the size of your beets.

  • Unwrap the beets (they’ll be piping hot so be careful!) and run cool water over them.
