Roasting beets for a salad brings out their natural sweetness and enhances their earthy flavor. This cooking method also caramelizes the sugars in the beets, creating a complex and rich taste that pairs beautifully with other ingredients in the salad. Roasting preserves the nutrients and adds a tender texture, making the beets easier to peel and slice. Additionally, roasting beets with olive oil and seasoning helps to infuse them with a subtle, savory flavor, balancing the sweetness.

Ingredients
6 large beets

Coat the beets with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Roast in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the beets are cooked through and tender.
