Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
Step 2
Place 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. Drain; cool until beets can easily be handled.
Step 3
Peel beets; cut into ½-inch thick slices. Toss beets with pesto in a bowl; season with salt and black pepper. Spread beets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until beets brown slightly around edges, 10 to 15 minutes.

Ingredients

  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 beets, trimmed, leaving 1 inch of stems attached
  • 6 tablespoons basil pesto
