Ingredients

  • 1 bunch beets (about 1 1/2 pounds), scrubbed

  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

  • Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

Directions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, toss beets with oil and season with salt and pepper. Cover dish tightly with foil; roast until tender when pierced with a knife, 45 to 60 minutes, depending on size. When cool enough to handle, rub with a paper towel to remove skins.

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place beets (peeled and cut into 1/2-inch wedges) on a large piece of foil on a baking sheet. Drizzle with oil and season with salt and pepper. Fold foil around beets and crimp ends to form a packet. Roast until beets are tender when pierced with a knife, 25 to 30 minutes.

                I only have a toaster oven but I wanted roasted beets. So I did a mixture of the quick roast and slow roast. I knew if I didn't cut them, they would never get done. I peel them and cousin. Which weren't as hard to cut as I thought. Covered them tightly in a dish with salt and olive oil in it. The temperature I put it on was 450°. I started with 25 minutes but that wasn't even close to long enough. So I left them in another 20 minutes.I like my vegetables a little less done they were perfect. I don't really know how you can mess up a beet. I'm sure I could. Haha :) But it turned out well.

                also? if you're dumb enough to not realize that these are cooking methods, i think you should stay away from the entire kitchen because there are sharp things in there!!!!

                It's April and I was looking for beet recipes- the last review was left in Feb.  Please fix the STEPs as they are not steps but different methods, as the post before mine  said. Beets are too wonderful to kill by using all four steps! Hello? anyone there?!

                These are not steps. These are four methods, to be used separately. If you are not supposed to do one step after another step, they should not be labeled as steps. Disappointing to find this kind of mistake on the Martha Stewart website.
