    My husband is a huge fan of beets. He loves to make pickled beets and eggs, another Pennsylvania Dutch recipe. So, recently when my daughter brought home some fresh beets from the farm I decided to roast a few for dinner.

    Three large garden fresh raw beets.

    We all know that beets are good for us. They are low in calories but high in fiber and other nutrients. Personally, I really love their color. After all, they say that we eat with our eyes first, right?

    In the past, I've taken advantage of that great color to dye Easter eggs naturally. The color was a much lighter pink, however, I bet if I let them sit longer in the dye the eggs would get even darker.

    Roasting beets is super simple. Just coat them with some oil and sprinkle on a little salt.

    The actual time will vary according to the freshness of the beets, their size, and the oven temperature. You can tell when they are ready by literally sticking a fork in it. If your fork can penetrate the beet easily then it's done.

    Just slice and serve warm.

    I love to drizzle a little balsamic vinegar over oven roasted red beets. This also makes them a great candidate for a salad add-in. Just chop up a few and enjoy with any fresh greens and your favorite vinaigrette.
