Oven Roasted Beets

Either you like beets or you don't.  If you don't like them, skip this recipe.  I'm not going to try and convince you to try it because in the end they still taste like regular old beets  :)  We like beets  though, so we tried cooking  them a new way.  Typically we boil them with their skins on, then remove the skins once they are cooked.  Tonight we tried something new and it worked out really well!

Ingredients:
5-10 Fresh beets (the smaller they are the tastier they are)
Salt
Pepper
Garlic powder
1 Tbsp oil (I used olive oil)

Directions:
*Cut the leafy part and the long  stringy end off your beets.

*Take a vegetable peeler and peel all the edges off of your beets.  Yes, your hands will be red...very red.

*Cut all of your beets into small bite-sized pieces.

*Line a 9x13 pan with tin foil, then  spray it down with cooking spray.

*Pour your beets into the foil lined pan. (okay, my pictures are already showing the beets in the pan...I am trying to do step by step but I had my pan already lined before we started...oops).

*Pour the oil over your beets.  If they aren't covered once you mix them, all a little more oil.

*Sprinkle salt, pepper, and a little bit of garlic powder over the beets.

*Pre-heat your oven to 375*F.

*Bake your beets for 30-40 minutes.  Once they are soft, they are done.

Let them cool before eating!  Yummy!
