you want:
beets, greens eliminated*
baking sheet
foil
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 400. Pull off a size of foil that’s twice the size of your baking sheet. Line your baking sheet, permitting half of the foil to hold off the top. Place the beets on the foil in a single layer. Fold the foil over the beets and crimp shut.
Bake 45-60 minutes or till every beet is well pierced with a skinny knife. Enable to chill barely. Use a paper towel to rub the pores and skin off the beets. Eat or prepare dinner with instantly or refrigerate as much as one week.
*I used a mixture of purple and white beets (that pale man on the top is a white beet. enjoyable!) as a result of that’s what I had available. Smaller beets might prepare dinner extra shortly than bigger beets. You probably have some good beet greens leftover, I’ve a couple of recipes that use them.
My ideas:
I maintain a operating tally of questions readers ask and when it reaches what I deem a crucial mass, I attempt to do a how-to submit. I haven’t finished one shortly but it surely was clear one was wanted about roasting beets. I often name for cooked beets in my recipes and roasting is by far the simplest methodology. You possibly can boil them however that takes simply as lengthy and you could have a pot of boiling water on the range that it’s important to ensure that doesn’t evaporate. I a lot choose a hands-off methodology. I really like roasting beets for recipes that decision for me to saute them till tender. Sauteing beets till they’re tender takes endlessly. I simply roast up an enormous batch once I get an opportunity and refrigerate them till prepared to make use of. Then I add them in the direction of the top of the basis vegetable cooking time or add them lengthy sufficient to heat them by if they’re the one root vegetable within the recipe. Added bonus? The pores and skin slips proper off of cooked beets; so you possibly can keep away from peeling the slippery, staining issues with an everyday peeler. Win-win-win.
