Roasted Beets

Delicious as is or in salad with Blue cheese and toasted nuts.

Put scrubbed beets in an oven proof baking dish. Add a few tablespoons water and drizzle with olive oil.
Cover with foil and bake at 425 until they can be easily pierced with a skewer or knife.
when cool enough to handle slip the skins and slice.

If your beets are really large, cut into halves or quarters before baking, still leaving the skins, tops and root ends intact.
