Roasting Beets

Ingredients:
1 pound golden beets, washed and trimmed
extra virgin olive oil
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Preparing the beets:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Wash the beets and coat them lightly with olive oil. Set in a small pan. Roast, shaking the pan periodically, until the beets are fully tender when pierced with a knife, 30 to 60 minutes. Let cool and using fingers, slip off the skins. Season with salt and pepper.
