A simple method to roast whole beets…

Rinse beets thoroughly to remove loose debris; there is no need to peel them. Place into oven safe cooking vessel with lid. Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 1-2 hours. Beets are cooked when a fork will easily penetrate. Allow beets to cool until they can be readily handled. Rub skin off beets and slice as desired.

Suggestions:
-delicious just sliced or cut into bite size chunks
-arrange slices on a plate and drizzle with balsamic vinegar and olive oil and sprinkle some cheese (goat or feta) on top
-dice and use for any chopped salad
-dice and use in grain salad: quinoa, barley or lentil
-or try something sweet (untested*)

*I've since tried the beet cake. Either the recipe was poorly written or poorly organized, it was more work to assemble than it should have been. I did like the flavor but unless I rewrite/re-organize the steps to improve the work flow, it's not worth repeating.
