Default Re: Beets

Baked roots

Red beets
Potatoes
Parsnips
Carrots
Cellery root (if you like it)
Salt and pepper
(other spices/herbs if you like)

Preheat oven to about 180°C (360°F).

Wash the roots, and peel if necessary.
Cut them in chunks of about the same size. The best size is about 2 cm (4/5 of an inch), but you can make them both smaller and larger - as long as they are the same size, and you adjust the cooking-time according to the size. If you use smaller potatoes, that doesn't need to be cut up; just cut the other roots to match

Place roots in a greased baking dish or casserole, drizzle with a little oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper, and other spices or herbs if using.
Mix well, so that all the pieces have oils and seasoning on them.

Bake until they are done - and preferrably a little golden brown and crisp.
