Beets are usually just cooked wrong. They’re typically these boiled nasty things. Until my wife talked me into trying them at Lucia’s in Minneapolis I despised them. I still don’t love them, but I do like them well enough to cook from time to time. To cook them, take your beets and wash them off. Cut off the stalks so you’re just left with the beets themselves. Then take those and wrap them in foil, sprinkle a few tablespoons of oil in the foil and some balsamic vinegar. Throw them into a 400 degree oven for about 60 minutes. The smaller the beet the less time you can bake, but don’t go too short or they’ll be too hard to eat. Once you pull them out, peel the skin off (obviously being careful not to burn yourself).
They go great with Salmon, steak or sliced into quarters on a salad.
