Step 1 of 4

Roast the beets in a foil parcel

Heat the oven to 400°F. Put the beets on a large sheet of foil, rub with the olive oil and half a teaspoon of the salt, seal the foil into a loose parcel and roast for 60 to 70 minutes, until a knife slides in with no resistance.

— Leave 2cm of stalk on and do not peel first. Cut into, beets bleed; whole and wrapped, they keep everything inside.
