  • Beet greens (optional)
  • Pot
  • Boiling water

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
  2. Wrap beets in foil to seal the package.
  3. Bake for 1 hour until tender.
  4. Let beets cool, then peel using a bag or gloves.
  5. Cut cooled beets into small cubes and serve.
  6. Steam beet greens in a pot over boiling water for 4-5 minutes.

Notes

- For quicker cooking, cut larger beets into halves or quarters before wrapping.
- Use a paper towel to help grip and peel the beets if you don't have a ziplock bag or gloves.
- Always taste a small piece after cooling to ensure they are tender enough before serving or further preparation.
- Leftover roast beet squares can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. They are delicious cold in salads or gently reheated in the microwave.
