Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
Step 2
Place the beets in a large saucepan; cover with 1 inch of water. Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until beets are just tender, about 30 minutes.
Step 3
Drain and cool beets. Peel, cut into 1/2-inch thick slices, and toss in a bowl with pesto and salt and pepper to taste.
Step 4
Spread beets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven until beets brown slightly around edges, 10 to 15 minutes.
Ingredients
