Roasted Beets

Ingredients

4-5 beets

3 tablespoons olive oil

Kosher salt

Directions

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash the beets - scrub to wash the outside. Remove the stem and root end with a sharp knife. Use a vegetable peeler or paring knife to peel the beets. Slice the beets into 1/4″ thick rounds and place them in a small bowl.
Drizzle the olive oil over the sliced beets and then toss to combine. Place the sliced beets in a single layer on your prepared baking sheet and sprinkle with kosher salt.
Roast in the hot oven until the beets are fork tender, 15-20 minutes. Enjoy hot with additional salt to taste.
