Roasted Beets

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat the oven to 375F.
2. 2
   Wash the beets well and put them in a roasting pan, still wet; cover the pan with foil.
3. 3
   Bake until soft, about 45 minutes (use a thin-bladed knife to pierce through the foil and into the beets to test for doneness).
4. 4
   Remove the beets, then allow them to cool a bit.
5. 5
   When the beets are cool enough to handle, peel them (the peels will slip off easily), then slice or dice them, as you prefer.
6. 6
   Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper, garnish with the parsley, and serve warm or at room temperature.
