Roasted Beets

Beets have a tendency to dry out in the oven, so roasting them unpeeled in a foil pack is the ideal method.
4-5 beets, cleaned and unpeeled
2 tablespoons grapeseed oil
Salt and pepper

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut greens from beets right at the root (leave enough stem so the flesh of the beet is not exposed). Lay one sheet of aluminum foil onto a baking sheet. Toss beets, oil, salt and pepper and rub the oil into the beets to ensure they are completely covered. Place beets onto the foil. Top with another sheet of foil and fold over all edges to make a packet. Bake for 30 minutes or until you can stick a knife through the beets. Allow the beets to cool slightly and remove skin. Use immediately or refrigerate whole.
