Wrap whole beets in foil and roast them in the oven. They'll be incredibly tender, rich in flavor, and their color will remain vibrant. A great alternative to boiling. Let them cool, peel them, and then use them to make your favorite appetizers or salads.



The recipes use measuring containers with the following volumes:
1 glass (st.) - 250 ml.
3/4 cup (st.) - 180 ml.
2/3 cup (st.) - 160 ml.
1/2 cup (st.) - 125 ml.
1/3 cup (st.) - 80 ml.
1/4 cup (st.) - 60 ml.
1 tablespoon (tbsp) - 15 ml.
1 teaspoon (tsp) - 5 ml.
1/5 teaspoon (tsp) - 1 ml.

Ingredients for the recipe:


  • 6-8 medium red or yellow beets (about 1 kg)
  • 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 fresh sprig of herbs, such as thyme, rosemary, sage, or parsley (optional)

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Preheat oven to 220°C.
  2. Trim the beet tops, leaving about 1 cm of stem, and set the leaves aside for another use. Wash the beets thoroughly to remove all sand.

  3. In a large bowl, toss the beets with olive oil, 1 teaspoon water, 1 teaspoon salt, and a few grinds of black pepper. Transfer the beets to a large piece of foil, add a sprig of fresh herbs, if using, and wrap everything in foil.
  4. Place the bundle on a baking sheet and roast until the beets are tender when pierced with a fork, 40-50 minutes, depending on the size of the beets. Carefully open the bundle, being careful not to burn yourself with steam. Let the beets cool for 5 minutes, then peel them while still warm. You can remove the skins with paper towels. Slice and drizzle the beets with your desired dressing and serve.
