Roasting is my favorite preparation for almost all vegetables, including beets. Besides being super tasty and healthy, beets are so pretty and vibrant! Here is a great way to roast them: Preheat oven to 400 F. Scrub the beets and cut off the leafy tops. Wrap in foil and place on a baking sheet. Bake for around 45 minutes (depending on how large your beets are). They are done when you can easily pierce beets with a fork. Let cool for 20-30 minutes, and rub off skins (I wore gloves for this part to avoid staining my hands).
