Perfect Roasted Beets

We are obsessed with beets and love to use them in a variety of ways. Serve warm over polenta or pureed cauliflower. Cool and make a beet salad, or puree into your favorite hummus recipe. Save the greens! They are delicious braised or boiled and topped with olive oil and vinegar.
