Roasted beets in foil is a great way to cook beets oven-baked. This recipe will teach you how to wrap and make the perfect whole beet for any side dish or to top any salad. Once quartered, this is a quick process that can be done on large batches!

Why This Recipe is the Best

It's a great way to make use of a large batch of beets. Once roasted you can pickle them, try this refrigerator pickled beets recipe, or add them to other dishes like salads or use them as a side.

What's great about roasting beets, you can roast any size. I know our garden had a variety of large to small beets. All roasted well and tasted perfect.

How to Roast Beets in Tin Foil

Start by preheating your oven to 400 degrees. Next, you are going to cut the stems and tails off of the beets. Once they are cut, scrub the beets to get any dirt off.
Wrap each beet, individually, in a piece of tin foil. I take one sheet of tin foil, about 12 inches long, and divide it into at least 8 pieces. You don't need to over wrap your beets or waste tin foil!
Line a baking sheet with tin foil. This helps keep your baking sheet clean if any of the foil packets leak. Place your wrapped beets on the prepared baking sheet. Put the baking sheet in the oven for about 1 hour.

I check the beets about 30 minutes into the roasting process. Smaller beets will roast more quickly.
The beets are ready when you can easily slide a fork in an out. Unwrap your beets and let cool.

Beets that have the skins off and are quartered.

Try not to over cook your beets. You don't want them mushy!
Once cooled enough to handle, the skin of each beet should easily peel off. Warning! Your hands will become deep pink. If the skin is not peeling off, gently use a vegetable peeler to remove the outside skin.

Top Tip

When you have several small beets, wrap them all together in the same tin foil packet. It helps them cook at the same speed as the larger beets.

Roast a lot or a little! We prefer roasting beets in large batches, but you can easily roast a small amount and still have the same results.

Add whole carrots during the roasting process.
