Description
I don’t know about you but in the last few years I have become a beet lover. I never used to be but if there are beets on the menu I order them. And I always have beets at home for my cravings. This is a very simple recipe – and it’s my favorite beet recipe.
Ingredients
- 6 whole Beets
- ¼ cups Olive Oil
- 1 teaspoon Red Wine Vinegar
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Pepper
- 2 Tablespoons Chopped Shallots (1 Shallot Is About 2 Tablespoons)
- ¼ cups Feta Cheese
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350 F.
First bake your beats by putting foil around your beets and put them on a cookie sheet. Make sure you have something under the beets in the oven because juices will come out and you do not want to ruin your oven. Leave them in the oven for about 1 hour for medium sized beets. If your beets are larger or smaller your time may differ, it is easy to check just poke a fork in them and make sure they are soft.
Take them out and let them cool.
Once you have baked them in the oven the skin is really easy to peel off, just make sure you wash your hands right afterwards or they will stay red for while.
While you are waiting for your beets to cool you can prepare you dressing with olive oil, vinegar, salt, pepper and shallots.
Once the beets have cooled and you have removed the skin, chop them up into ½” cubes and toss into your dressing. Stir and add the feta cheese on top.

Rivergilr10 – Did you ever make the beets? I am very curious what you think. For me baked beats are just very flavorful, you can’t get that flavor our of a bottle or can, but i have boiled my beets before if i need to make this quickly.

I love the bottled beets. Do you suppose you could substitute those? Quite honestly, I have never even touched a fresh beet. Never knew what to do with them. Maybe I should just bite the bullet and follow your recipe exactly. I should learn how to cook fresh beets anyway. Thanks for the recipe.
