Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Find a rimmed baking dish with a lid or a baking sheet that fit snugly on top. It should hold all your beets without them touching. Line the baking dish bottom with parchment paper.
Wash and dry your beets. If the green beet leaves are attached, trim them off.
Place the beets in the prepared baking dish and drizzle a touch of olive oil on each one.
Then sprinkle each beet with a little salt. Evenly coat the beets with the oil and salt by tossing in the pan or just your hands.
Cover the baking dish with a lid or baking sheet. Place in the preheated oven and roast the beets for 30-50 minutes until they are tender and a small paring knife can easily pierce to the center of the beet.
Final baking time depends on the size of the beets. Start checking after 30 minutes of roasting time. Keep adding 5-10 minutes as needed.
After roasting, let the beets cool until safe to handle.
Use rubber gloves if you don't want to stain your hands. Cut off the top and root end of the roasted beet. Then the rest of the peel can easily be removed by hand. Slice or dice as desired.
Use roasted beets as dinner side or salad topping.
