Simple Oven Roasted Beets (No Peeling Required!)

Step 1

Scrub and trim your beets.

Step 2

Preheat your oven to 400°F / 200°C.

Step 3

Rub the beets in olive oil, then wrap each beet tightly in foil. Transfer the wrapped beets to the prepared baking sheet and roast until completely tender when pierced with a knife,45 to 60 minutes. Allow to stand at room temperature until cool enough to handle, 15 to 20 minutes.

Step 4

Run the cooled beets under cold running water while you slip off their skins. Pat the beets dry.

Step 5

Leave the roasted beets whole until use, or chop, slice, or prepare as desired. Cooked beets will keep for up to 5 days in an airtight container in the fridge.
