Baked Beets image

Whenever I need cooked beets, I don't boil them, I bake them. They're less messy, easier to handle and far tastier. The moisture is inside the beets, not in the boiling water. I've included 2 ways to use them.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 1h35m

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 -4 medium unpeeled unwashed whole beets
1 1/2-2 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2-1 teaspoon sugar
salt & freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup heavy cream
salt and pepper
lemon juice

Steps:

  • Baked Beets: Preheat oven to 400°.
  • Trim roots and stems to 1/2", do not cut beets further!
  • ;do not wash beets!
  • ,if there is dirt that bothers you, wipe it off with a paper towel; moisture will cause the beets to steam and that is not what you want.
  • Place beets in a casserole, cover with the lid and seal the entire casserole tightly with foil; bake at 400° for 60-90 minutes.
  • When beets are cool enough to handle, remove the roots and skins; if you're using the beets whole leave the tails on, otherwise remove them; the skin can be easily slipped off with your fingers.
  • Beets are ready to be used in any recipe calling for cooked beets or try one of the two listed here.
  • Dressed Baked Beets: Put the skinned beets, whole, diced or sliced in a saucepan or skillet; add the butter, sugar, salt and pepper; heat and serve.
  • Baked Beets in Cream: Thinly slice skinned baked beets; heat in saucepan or skillet with cream, add salt and pepper; just before serving add lemon juice.

These beets were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I would probably use less honey next time.

These beets were delicious! I roasted them with some olive oil, salt, and pepper, and they were so flavorful and tender. I will definitely be making them again.
