Roasted Beet Wedges

This recipe makes ordinary beets taste delicious. They come out sweet and tender.

Yield

4 to 6 servings

Ingredients

1 pound medium fresh beets, peeled
4 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
3 sprigs fresh rosemary

Directions

Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C). Cut each beet into six wedges; place in a large resealable plastic bag. Add olive oil and salt; seal and shake to coat.

Place a piece of heavy-duty foil (about 12 inches long) in a 15 x 10 x 1-inch baking pan. Arrange beets on foil and top with rosemary. Fold foil around beet mixture and seal tightly.

Bake for 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours or until beets are tender. Discard rosemary sprigs.

Estimated Time

Preparation Time: 15 minutes

Additional Information

For a milder herb flavor, try using fresh thyme instead of rosemary. You may make the beets a day ahead, then slice and serve cold in a salad.
