How to roast beets

Roasted beets are very versatile and can be used in salads, soups, sandwiches, hummus and many more dishes.

I love beets for their taste, color and nutrition! They have such wonderful aroma when you roast them. Beets are available year around in most grocery stores. Everytime I buy them I roast them and refrigerate for up to a week. They come in very handy for while preparing meals.

Here is how to cook roasted beets:

• Wash the beets thoroughly and dry with paper towel. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

• Cut off the top stems and bottom roots of the beet. Cut each beet into half

• Line baking tray with aluminum foil, Line beets on the tray with the flat side down and brush them with olive oil.

• Cover the beets with another aluminum foil this time wrapping foil around each beet tightly. Bake for 45-60 minutes.

• Check with a knife to make sure it goes through smoothly. Let them cool down and then peel the skin off using a paper towel.

Enjoy roasted beets with some salt and pepper sprinkled or use them in hummus, salads, soups, sides or sandwiches!
