BAKED BEETS

Baked beets have a sweeter, nuttier flavour than boiled.

Preheat oven to 400F. Wash and trim 4-6 medium beets, leaving about 1 inch of stalk attached.
Wrap beets together in foil and crimp edges to seal. Place in upper third of oven.
Bake approximately 1-1/2 hours, until tender but still firm. Slip off skins and trim off stalks before serving.
Serve with lots of butter, salt and pepper.

Try  doing separate packages of  gold, red and Chioggia (red with white stripes). Then mix them to serve for a  colourful and attractive dish.
