6-8 Beet, trimmed of greens & root
Olive Oil, everyday cooking
Salt & Pepper
4 oz. Fresh Arugula
Balsamic Vinegar
Good Fruity EVOO**
Preheat oven to 400 degrees (if the beets are large preheat to 425).
Place beets in heavy foil.
Drizzle with every day oil & season with salt & pepper.
Close foil around the beets leaving a small opening to vent.
Roast beets for 75 minutes.
Remove from oven & allow to cool enough to handle.
Using latex gloves, pull the skin of the beets.
Slice or quarter the beets.
Place arugula in a serving bowl.
Top with the beets.
Drizzle with the good EVOO & balsamic.
Season with salt & pepper & enjoy.
