How to Roast Beets - making my perfect salad

OatmealBowl

I just received beets in my CSA (community supported agriculture) box. Although, I love beets, I have never bought one or cooked one. Well, I found out just how easy and fast they are to roast. And it was perfect in my salad. Along side some handmade spinach-basil pasta. Nom Nom!

Thanks for sharing. That is great to know that beets are easy to make. I've never cooked a fresh one either! Unfortunately, usually eat them out of the jar. But I would love to try them.
