How To Roast Beets In The Oven Food

SIMPLE ROASTED BEETS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Cut off the leafy tops of the beets, leaving about 1/2 inch of stem, and reserve them for another use. Wash the beets well to remove all of the sand.
• Toss the beets with the oil, 1 tablespoon water, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Transfer the beets to a large piece of foil, add the herb sprig if using and wrap the foil up into a packet. Put the packet on a baking sheet and roast until fork-tender, 40 to 50 minutes depending on the size of the beets. Carefully open the packet, watching out for steam. Let the beets cool for 5 minutes, then peel while still warm by rubbing off the skins with paper towels.
• Slice and dress the beets as desired and serve.

ROASTED BEETS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• Remove the tops and the roots of the beets and peel each one with a vegetable peeler. Cut the beets in 1 1/2-inch chunks. (Small beets can be halved, medium ones cut in quarters, and large beets cut in eighths.)
• Place the cut beets on a baking sheet and toss with the olive oil, thyme leaves, salt, and pepper. Roast for 35 to 40 minutes, turning once or twice with a spatula, until the beets are tender. Remove from the oven and immediately toss with the vinegar and orange juice. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and serve warm.

BASIC ROASTED BEETS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wrap beets in 2 or 3 packets of foil. Place on a baking sheet; bake until beets are slightly soft to the touch, 45 minutes to 1 hour depending on their size. Cool beets in packets, then rub off skins (use a paring knife for tough spots).

TASTY ROASTED BEETS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Toss the beets, olive oil, and thyme in a bowl until beets are coated, and arrange pieces of beet on baking sheet so that they don't touch. Sprinkle the beets with sea salt.
• Roast in the preheated oven until the beets are tender, 10 to 20 minutes. A fork inserted into a beet cube should come out easily.

ROASTED BEETS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F. Wash the beets well and put them in a roasting pan, still wet; cover the pan with foil. Bake until soft, about 45 minutes (use a thin-bladed knife to pierce through the foil and into the beets to test for doneness). Remove the beets, then allow them to cool a bit.
• When the beets are cool enough to handle, peel them (the peels will slip off easily), then slice or dice them, as you prefer. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper, garnish with the parsley, and serve warm or at room temperature.

ROASTED BEETS & GARLIC

Steps:

• Separate garlic cloves from head & peel.
• Place garlic & beets in a sheet of aluminum foil that has been lightly spritzed with cooking spray; roast in preheated 375F oven until tender, about 1 1/2 hours or 1 hour for smaller beets.
• Let beets cool enough to handle & cut into wedges; set garlic & beets aside.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook tarragon, salt & pepper, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes.
• Add beets & garlic; toss gently to coat & heat through, about 2 minutes.

OVEN-ROASTED BEETS AND GARLIC (WW)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375.
• Toss together beets, garlic, 1 1/2 teaspoons of thyme, and the oil in a 9x13 inch baking pan.
• Drizzle with orange juice.
• Cover baking dish with foil, roast until beets are almost tender when pierced with a knife, about 45 minutes.
• Remove foil and sprinkle beets with remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons thyme. Roast until beets are tender, about 10 minutes longer.

ROASTED BEETS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a large bowl, toss the beets to coat with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Wrap beets in aluminum foil, keeping the different color varieties separate. Put aluminum pouches in the oven and roast about 1 hour until tender, when easily pierced with a paring knife. Remove from oven. While beets are still slightly warm, remove the outer skin by rubbing them gently with a towel.
• To serve, preheat oven to 350. Warm olive oil in a saute pan over medium heat. Add beets. Place in the oven. Heat through, about 10 minutes, drain on paper towels to remove extra olive oil and arrange on a plate. Sprinkle with chives and a few pinches of fleur de sel.
