Cut the tops off and lay them aside for another dish. Wash them well. Cut the root area off too. DO NOT PEEL them. Split them in half from top to bottom. NO Foil needed, that steams them.
Place them cut side down on an oiled baking sheet and just like a potato, roast them at 375 degrees untill fork tender.
Let them cool a bit and the skin slips right off. Sometimes they are so tender you can even eat the skin.
Roasting them lets the natural sugar carmelize and this wonderful veggie is perfect with just a little butter S&P.
They are great in salads or pickled. Love them!
Please try this method. Love your beets and treat them right. Boiling them just destroys their goodness, you might think they taste great but after you try them roasted you will wonder why you never thought of it before. Yummy in the tummy!
