Prep Notes
Beets are especially anti-inflammatory. They contain the anti-oxidant Betaine that helps the liver rid the body of toxins and keep the organ healthy so it can do its job! Enjoy roasted beets as a side dish on their own or add them to Beet Salsa, Beet Hummus, or Mixed Greens with Pear, Goat Cheese, & Pecans!
Cooking Time
40 minutes
Yields
6 cups
Ingredients
1 lb. Beets (about 2 large or 3 medium)
1-2 Tbsp olive oil
Sea salt
Directions
- Preheat oven to 400° F.
- Peel and chop beets into 1-inch cubes.
- Lay chopped beets on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
- Roast for 30-40 minutes or until beets are soft. Stir once to ensure even cooking. Let cool completely.
- Alternatively, place unpeeled beets on foil, sprinkle with oil and salt, seal tightly, and roast until tender. This might take a bit longer than if chopped, about 45 minutes. Test. Beets should be fork tender. If still firm, rewrap and roast an additional 10 minutes.
