Roasted Baby Beets
I confess these aren't always easy to find, but when you run
across them, they make a wonderful dish. They even make a good
appetizer or party food.
What you need
- Baby beets
- Olive Oil
- Kosher Salt & Black Pepper
How to make it
- Preheat oven to 375º
- Trim the root end of the beets and also the tops, leaving
about 2 inches or so of the stems on top.
- Scrub well and dry
- Place beets on a foil lined baking sheet and drizzle with
olive oil
- Using your hands, mix the beets and oil together, coating
the beets well
- Spread out into a single layer and sprinkle with salt &
Pepper
- Roast beets until a knife pierces to the center easily
- Remove and allow to cool slightly
You can peel the beets
at this point, but the skins aren't typically tough, so I
usually leave them and serve. If serving as an appetizer, you
can whip up a nice vinaigrette to dip them.
