Ingredients
Beets – Buy fresh whole beets that are free of soft spots, and are of a uniform size for even cooking. You can usually find beets with the greens still attached, which make tasty cooked greens sautéed in bacon drippings or butter.
Oil – Use extra virgin olive oil for the best flavor (or whatever you have on hand).
Seasonings – Beets have so much flavor they don’t need much in the way of seasoning other than basic salt, pepper, and butter. Give them a dash of balsamic, red wine, or apple cider vinegar if you want a little zing. You can also garnish with sour cream and fresh dill if you wish.

Tip & Tricks
- Wear gloves and an apron and be careful while handling beets, as they stain hands and fabric.
- Do trim the ends, but peeling is optional. Beets have a very thin skin that will virtually disappear during roasting.
- Store leftovers in a zip bag in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 6 months.
