Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Roasted Beet Scrub beet, trim stalk and root, pierce with fork (3-4 times). Wrap beet in aluminum foil (place flat, stalk end, down so it will stand up), leaving finger-sized opening at top. (Suggestion, cook several beets, wrapped individually, to have on hand for later.) Place in baking dish and in oven for 45 minutes to an hour - till knife inserted into beet goes in easily. Remove from oven and set aside to cool.
