Roasting?

Back in May I posted a recipe for my momma's beets, but here's another way you can prepare this red (or yellow) sweet and healthy root vegetable.

Oven Roasted Beets

3 beets peeled and cut up into chunks

1/2 cup olive oil

salt and pepper to taste

Place beets on a sheet pan lined with tin foil and drizzle olive oil on top. Put on rubber gloves and mix the beets in with the olive oil so that it coats every beet. Sprinkle beets with salt and pepper and place in a 450 degree oven for about 20 minutes. After 20 minutes flip beets over to the other side and bake for another 30-35 minutes mixing every once in a while until they are fork tender.

Eat your roasted beets on this salad or this salad or eat alone! ENJOY!
