Ingredients
- 1 bunch beets 4 large or 8 medium
- 1 in large orange cut half
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 large pinch kosher salt and pepper
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees and have an 8 x 8 baking dish ready.
- Wash and trim the greens from the beets if needed, leaving the root in-tact.
- Place beets in the pan and cover with juice of one orange, rosemary sprigs, olive oil, large pinch kosher salt and a few turns of a black pepper mill. Leave the orange halves in the pan and cover tightly with foil.
- Roast for 45 minutes or until beets are fork tender. Let cool completely before removing foil.
- To serve, carefully remove skin with hands (should peel right off) and slice into bite-sized pieces.

Notes
Beets will stain your hands red. If you wish, use kitchen gloves to prevent your hands from staining.
