Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a sheet pan with foil and spray with cooking spray.

Step 3

Spread beets out in a single layer on the prepared sheet pan and roast, flipping half way through, until the beets are tender and starting to turn golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes.
