Olive or avocado oil
Instructions
Scrub and trim your beets.
Preheat your oven to 400°F / 200°C.
Rub the beets in olive oil, then wrap each beet tightly in foil. Transfer the wrapped beets to the prepared baking sheet and roast until completely tender when pierced with a knife,45 to 60 minutes. Allow to stand at room temperature until cool enough to handle, 15 to 20 minutes.
Run the cooled beets under cold running water while you slip off their skins. Pat the beets dry.
Leave the roasted beets whole until use, or chop, slice, or prepare as desired. Cooked beets will keep for up to 5 days in an airtight container in the fridge.
