Ingredients




3 golden beets
5 red beets
1 large yellow onion, wedged
1 large red onion, wedged
olive oil spray
1 tsp. fine sea salt

Preparation

1 Preheat oven to 400*F. 2 Spray 1 or 2 baking pans with olive oil spray. 3 Gently scrub beets to remove all dirt. Cut off the greens and set aside to use another time (unless you already used them!). 4 Trim off ends and any spots. If preferred, peel, but you do not need to as long as you scrubbed them well and cut out any blemishes. 5 Cut beets into wedges of similar thickness (they do not need to be the same length). 6 Arrange along with the onions in one even layer on baking pans and spray again. 7 Sprinkle with sea salt. Bake for 30 minutes, stirring halfway through. 8 Depending on the thickness of your wedges, they may need to roast longer. If so, keep an eye on the onions, as they may roast slightly faster than beets. 9 Serve immediately.

About

Roasting the beets causes them to carmelize and become soft inside with a nice crunch on the outside.
