Roasted beets are one of my favorite simple dishes to make because they're so forgiving and delicious. With just three ingredients and an hour of your time, you'll have a vibrant side dish that works with almost anything. I love how the natural sweetness intensifies when they roast, and beets are packed with betalains that support heart health. The best part? You can prep them in just 15 minutes, then let the oven do the work while you handle other things. It's honestly hard to mess up, and your kitchen will smell amazing.

Place each beet on a piece of foil. Drizzle generously with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Wrap the beets in the foil, place on a baking sheet, and roast for 35 to 60 minutes, or until fork-tender. The timing will depend on the size and freshness of the beets.

Remove the beets from the oven, remove the foil, and set aside to cool. When the beets are cool to the touch, peel off the skins. I like to hold them under running water and slide the skins off with my hands.
