Roasted Beets Recipe

This easy-to-prepare roasted beets recipe are finish with pepper and fresh lemon zest for the perfect accompaniment to any main entrée.

The flavor in these beets is to die for and are one of my all-time favorite side dishes.

INGREDIENTS:

– beets – olive oil – lemon – lemon – coarse salt and cracked pepper

Slice both ends off the beets. Peel the beets using a paring knife or vegetable peeler. Cut the beets into wedges.

Pour the olive oil into a large non-stick frying pan over high heat and heat until it begins to smoke lightly. Add in the beets and cook for 3 to 4 minutes.

Season with salt and pepper. Go heavy on the pepper. Flip the beets around and continue to cook for 2 to 3 minutes.

Place the pan in the oven on the middle rack and roast at 425° for 40 to 45 minutes or until lightly caramelized and tender.

To roast directly in the oven, toss the cut beets in a bowl with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
