    🥘 Ingredients

    Grab some beets and you should be good to go! Though completely optional, I love tossing the foil packet roasted beets in butter just before serving for added depth of flavor.

    • Beets - 4 medium-sized beets cut into bite-sized pieces.
    • Olive Oil - 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil.
    • Kosher Salt - ½ a teaspoon.
    • Butter (optional) - 1 tablespoon for tossing the beets at the end of cooking.

    *Be sure to see the recipe card below for ingredients, amounts & instructions!*

    🔪 Step-By-Step Instructions

    This oven roasted beets recipe is super simple! Grab a knife and cutting board, a baking sheet, and 2 pieces of foil (you may want a mixing bowl for tossing the beets if you use the optional butter).

    1. Prep. Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C) and scrub 4 medium beets clean with a vegetable brush under cold running water. Pat them dry and dice them into bite-sized pieces (no need to peel them).
    2. Create pouches. Place 2 squares of foil on a baking sheet and divide the beets between them. Drizzle them with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and season with ½ a teaspoon of Kosher salt. Then, fold the edges of the foil up and over the beets, creating a pouch or packet.
    3. Roast. Roast your beets in the oven for 45-60 minutes depending on how small or large you diced your beets.
    4. Serve immediately. Toss the beets with 1 tablespoon of butter right before serving, if desired.

    Roasted beets are so versatile! They make a great addition to any holiday menu or for more casual cooking, try serving them along side other easy vegetable sides like oven roasted brussel sprouts! Enjoy!

    💭 Angela's Tips & Recipe Notes

    • Washing your beets is essential! They are a root vegetable that holds on to a lot of dirt, and since you won't be peeling them you certainly don't want to eat it!
    • Beet juice will stain anything and everything it comes into contact with. This includes your hands, clothes, and cutting board. A thin layer of oil or non-stick cooking spray on your cutting board will prevent the wood from absorbing any beet juice so you can simply rinse it off. 
    • Storing: Cooked beets can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 5 days and easily reheated in the microwave.
