Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425°F.
  • Scrub beets clean. Spread foil in a double layer and arrange beets in a single layer. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Bake for 45 minutes for small beets, up to 75 minutes for large beets.
  • Allow to cool, then use a paper towel to rub off the skins (scrape with a knife if needed). Wear rubber gloves to avoid staining your hands.

Notes

  • Store beets in the refrigerator for about one week, or freeze for up to 6 months.
