Fresh Roasted Beets

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. 2
   Using a paring knife, peel the beets. Quarter them and place on a large piece of foil on a baking sheet. (Larger beets may need to be cut smaller. You want the pieces to be of similar sizes so they all bake the same length of time.)

4. 4
   Loosely wrap the beets up in the foil, creating a pouch; make sure to leave space around so the beets so they have room to steam.
5. 5
   Place in oven for 45 minutes. Open foil pouch so the beets are exposed to the heat, return to the oven for 15 minutes more.
