Roasted Beets for Tonya

Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Wrap the beets individually in foil and place in a baking dish. Roast beets until a skewer can be inserted easily into a beet, 45 minutes to 1 hour.

Remove the beets from the oven, open the foil packets, and allow to cool for 10 minutes. Cradle a roasted beet in several layers of paper towels in your hands and gently rub off the skin of the beets.

Slice the beets 1/4 inch, then toss with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with feta. Sometimes we add fresh garlic too.

A great thing to make when beets are in season, too bad our garden didn't produce any!
