  • Place foil pouch in oven and roast 35 minutes for small beets or 50 minutes for large beets. Test tenderness after 35 minutes by piercing beets with fork. Beets are cooked through when fork pierces smoothly.

Recipe Notes

  • Storage - roasted beets can be stored in the refrigerator for 5-7 days in an airtight container. They can also be frozen in a baggie or airtight container for 6-10 months.
  • For a little flair, consider Chioggia beets. They're slightly sweeter than standard red beets, and the candy cane effect of their inner red-and-white striping looks great on a holiday dinner table!
