Roasted Sliced Beets

Directions:

1. Prepare the Beets  

   ◦ Wash and scrub the beets thoroughly to remove any dirt.  

   ◦ Line a sheet of foil with parchment paper on top.  

   ◦ Place the whole beets on the parchment paper and wrap them tightly, ensuring they are fully covered.  

2. Roast the Beets  

   ◦ Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).  

   ◦ Place the wrapped beets on a baking sheet and roast for about 1 hour.  

   ◦ Carefully open the foil and check for doneness by inserting a knife or fork—it should slide in easily.  

   ◦ If the beets are not tender, continue roasting for another 30 minutes, checking every 10 minutes.  

3. Peel & Slice  

   ◦ Once tender, remove from the oven and allow the beets to cool slightly.  

   ◦ You can leave the peel on or remove it easily under running water—it will slide off using just your hands.  

   ◦ Slice the beets into half-moon shapes and place them in a bowl.  

4. Season & Serve  

   ◦ Drizzle with freshly squeezed lemon juice and sprinkle with salt.  

   ◦ Toss gently and plate.  

   ◦ Garnish with fresh parsley and enjoy!  

These roasted beets make a beautiful and healthy side dish for Shabbat and beyond!
