Tasty Tips

Save time by purchasing vacuum-sealed fully-cooked beets in the refrigerated section of the produce department of a well-stocked grocery store.

To roast beets, preheat oven to 425ºF. Scrub well, then trim tops and roots. Arrange on rimmed baking sheet. Cover tightly with foil. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until fork tender. Cool to room temperature, peel and cut as needed.
