Roasted Sweet Beets
Beets…oh how I love beets! My favorite way to enjoy them is roasted and then tossed in a salad. I am one happy camper when I find them on salad bars when we eat out after church on Sundays. Surprisingly, most of my children enjoy them too.
I grew up eating canned beets. Don't get me wrong, they are still one of my favorite vegetables or snack. But, you can't compare the flavor of canned to freshly roasted.
Ingredients:
- 4-6 (about 2 pounds) Fresh Red Beets
- 4 Tablespoon Oil (Grape seed, Olive, Coconut)
- Salt and Pepper
Directions:
- Chop beet bulbs from top greens and wash – as in really scrub the beets to remove the dirt and grime
- Peel beets and cut into bite size pieces
- Place diced beets into a large bowl and liberally salt and pepper
- Drizzle oil over beets and toss well to coat all pieces
- Spread beets out on a baking pan in a single layer (use two pans to prevent crowding)
- Bake at 400 degrees for 35-45 minutes – until fork tender
Serve with Ranch dressing if you have a toddler that loves to dip things!
My crew stands around the stove and starts stabbing them as soon as they come out of the oven. I wonder how many batches I would have to make in order to have some to put in away as leftovers?
I knew you had a recipe for roasted beets!
I’m fixing some for supper tonight. Can’t wait!
As much as I love beets, I must admit that I’ve never cooked fresh beets. I really like to roast veggies, as it brings out their innate flavor (and it’s simple to do, too). Now you’ve got me wondering about how good roasted beets would be. Thanks! I’ll look for them at the farmers market and give it a try.
I have never had beets! Crazy, I know. I would love to try this as it sounds yummy 🙂
I love beats but I have never seen beat bulbs for sale, only processed beats. Where can I buy beat bulbs? At what store?
I love beets and I love oven roasted veggies. Shame on me for never thinking to try this, thanks so much for sharing!
I love beets. (My husband hates them, lol) I would love to try and make this recipe. Maybe then he’ll eat them. Thanks for sharing!
I’ve been on a roasting-veggie kick for months but never thought of beets. Going to have to try this! 🙂
I’ve never had beets but this recipe inspired me and I’m going to have to try this since I love all my vegetables roasted, rather than steamed or fried…thanks for all the recipes you post and all the great giveaway opportunities…i’m hooked!!
I love beets, but my husband does not. I have fed them to my toddler and she likes them, but we use cloth diapers and it stains, so I am refraining from feeding them to her until she is potty trained!
I haven’t tried beets since I was a child. At the time, of course, I didn’t like them. But I’d really like to try them again. Perhaps I’ll use this recipe to give them a go. Thanks!
I can usually take beets or leave them, but this sounds like a tasty thing to try! Thanks for sharing.
I really love beets and my grandma used to make a version of this i just never think to cook beets but i will this summer
When I was growing up my mom would make us eat beets. They did not taste so good. These roasted sweet beets sound awesome. I am going to try and cook these for a family get together. Thanks.
I love roasted beets! Thank you for sharing your recipe.
I really like beats and they are so good for you. Haven’t thought of just roasting them. Looking forward to trying this Thank you,
