These roasted beets are absolutely delicious and so simple to make. With only two ingredients, consider this your go-to roasted beet recipe. They are exquisite all on their own and perfect for canning, pickling, using in beet salads or as a beautiful side dish with dinner.
Remove the stems, greens and any root tendrils extending from the bottom of the beets. Rinse them under running water to remove the dirt.
Peel all the skin from the beets then chop them into 1.5 inch chunks.
Place the cut beets in a large bowl and toss them with the olive oil until fully coated. Spread them out on a parchment-lined baking pan.
Roast the beets on the middle rack of an oven that is pre-heated to 350 degrees. Roast for 45 minutes until easily pierced with a paring knife and the outside is starting to brown.
