Basic Roasted Beetroot

Directions

   Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C (350 degrees F).

3. 3
   Place on a baking tray with the oil and water.
4. 4
   Tightly cover the baking tray with foil.
5. 5
   Bake for 45-60 minutes or until the beetroot is tender.
6. 6
   Check after 25 minutes and baste with the liquid to ensure they don't dry out (add more water to the tray if required).
7. 7
   Set aside to cool before peeling off the skin - wear gloves to protect your hands from staining.
8. 8
   Slice or cut into wedges.
