The first time I had a roasted beet was at a high-end restaurant in Monterrey, MX. It was so soft and easy to slice into, the flavor was better than any beet I'd tasted. Next level. Since then my parents and I have started grilling on the weekends and roasted beets are a favorite of ours. If you've not tried it, I highly recommend it. So lush, soft, flavorful, beautiful and not to mention healthy. With very little effort, a grill and some time, you can enjoy these wonderful gems.

Ingredients
Roasted Beets

Instructions
Peaceful Preparation:
- Take the whole beet. Wash the outside well. Pat dry or shake off.
- Cover in olive oil or preferred oil.
- Season further if desired.
- Double wrap in aluminum foil. Wrap it once, then wrap it again.
- Put the beet directly into the hot coals. Or roast above, though this will take longer.
- Turn occasionally.
- Cook for 30-45 minutes or more as needed depending on the size of the beet until cooked throughout.
- Leave the skin on or peel, I personally love the skin.
- Enjoy as desired.
