Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.

Cut off the beet leaves and reserve for another use (such as the my Flatbread With Sauteed Greens)

Wash the beets and wrap each each one individually in aluminum foil.

Place them on a baking sheet and bake for 45 minutes to an hour or until a skewer goes into the beet easily. No need to unwrap the beet to test for doneness.

Unwrap the beets and cool long enough to handle them.

Rub the beets with your fingers to easily remove the skin.

Cut them in any way you choose.

Mix together the oil, vinegar, salt and pepper.

Add to the beets and toss to combine.

They can be eaten warm, at room temperature or cold.

Enjoy!
