This easy roasted beets recipe is a delicious side dish! Season the beets simply with olive oil, salt, and pepper, or try one of the serving suggestions in the blog post above.

Ingredients

6 medium beets, tops removed, scrubbed well
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Place each beet on a piece of foil. Drizzle generously with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Wrap the beets in the foil, place on a baking sheet, and roast for 35 to 60 minutes, or until fork-tender. The timing will depend on the size and freshness of the beets.
Remove the beets from the oven, remove the foil, and set aside to cool. When the beets are cool to the touch, peel off the skins. I like to hold them under running water and slide the skins off with my hands.
Cut or slice the beets and drizzle lightly with olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper, toss, and serve. Find more serving suggestions in the blog post above.
