How to Roast Beets in the Oven (Easy Step-by-Step Guide)

0 Wash the beets thoroughly to remove any dirt.
1 Place the beets in a bowl and cover them with water. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of baking soda over the top and let them soak for 10–20 minutes.
2 Drain the beets and give them a second rinse to remove any remaining baking soda.
4 Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, then cover it with aluminum foil. Place the beets on the lined baking sheet.
3 Bake at 400°F for about 1 hour. If your beets are large, bake them for 1 hour and 20 minutes. You’ll know they’re done when you can easily poke them with a knife and they feel soft and caramelized.
