Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 pounds beets, scrubbed.
- 1 tablespoons olive oil, or enough to coat well.
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- 375 F oven
- Place scrubbed, whole unpeeled beets in a dutch oven. If any are overly large, cut in half so all are roughly the same diameter. For faster cooking, feel free to halve all.
- Drizzle generously with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Cover and roast until fork tender, 60-90 minutes, depending on size. If using small beets, check at 45 minutes.
- Let cool and remove outer skins ( if you want).
- Use in salads, side dishes, etc.
Notes
Feel free to peel the skins before roasting if you prefer.
