Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375. Scrub the beets well, then pat dry with a paper towel. Place on a cutting board and remove the greens (if attached) and the bottoms.

Toss the beets with the olive oil and place in a baking dish cut side down. Wrap the dish tightly with foil and roast the beets for 45 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the size, or until tender.

When the beets are cool enough to handle, remove from the baking dish and rub each beet with a paper towel to remove the skin. Use plastic gloves for the red beets if desired to keep your hands from turning red.

Cut in half from top to bottom, and slice into ¼" wedges, then season with salt, pepper and any desired herbs or flavorings. Enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Uniform Sizing for Even Roasting 🎯
Cut beets into equal-sized pieces (about 1.5 inches) so they roast at the same rate and achieve consistent tenderness throughout.
Don't Peel Before Roasting 🧅
Keep the skin on during roasting to lock in moisture, nutrients, and prevent the beets from becoming waterlogged—peel after cooking when the skin slides off easily.
Separate Colors for Optimal Results 🎨
Roast red and golden beets on separate trays to prevent the red beets from bleeding and staining the golden ones, maintaining their vibrant individual colors.
High Heat and Tossing Technique 🔥
Roast at 425°F and toss the beets halfway through cooking to create caramelized edges while ensuring the centers become creamy and tender.
Finish with Quality Oil and Seasoning ✨
Drizzle with premium olive oil, fresh cracked pepper, and fleur de sel after roasting to enhance natural sweetness and add sophisticated flavor complexity.
