Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium fresh beets
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons capers
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Rinse the beets under running water, scrubbing gently to remove any dirt. Trim off the greens, leaving about 1 inch of stem.
Wrap each beet individually in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet.
Roast the beets in the oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until you can easily pierce them with a knife or skewer.
Remove the beets from the oven and let them cool enough to handle. Once cooled, peel the skin off by rubbing them gently with your hands or a paper towel.
Cut the peeled beets into wedges or slices and place them in a medium mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Whisk to create a dressing.
Drizzle the dressing over the beets and toss gently to coat.
Add the capers and chopped fresh parsley to the bowl, tossing once more to distribute evenly.
Transfer the seasoned beets to a serving platter. Garnish with additional parsley if desired, and serve warm or at room temperature.
