How to Cook Roasted Beets

It is very easy to roast beets. After trying this just once you will always roast beets this way.

I bake my beets in the oven by wrapping them in foil and then baking them until they are soft.

When the beets have cooled, simply push on the peels and they slide off the beets.

    There is something wrong with this cook time, I’ve been roasting my beets for 50 minutes and they are still totally hard.

    I tried this as an appetizer at a Malibu restaurant and fell in love with the dish; so much so that I decided to Google for the recipe. I made this once and instantly recalled the moment that I first tried it. This is now something I make often. It so delicious!
