Are you a beet lover? I know you are either a lover or hater of beets. It’s one of those vegetables. I love them any way they are prepared. Canned, pickled, cold, warm…and then I made roasted beets. OH, MY!

The roasting brings out the sugars in the beets and gives them the BEST flavor. Perfect just as a side. A great addition to salads with a bit of arugula, kale or feta.

Yes, please.

This is truly the easiest recipe ever.

If you want to protect your hands from the red color from the beets that may linger…don some gloves.

So here you go:
