Time 55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 3

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

Steps:

  • Place the beets in a large saucepan and cover with 1 inch of water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the beets are just tender, about 30 minutes. Drain, and allow the beets to cool until you are able to handle them. Peel and cut into 1/2 inch thick slices, then toss with the pesto in a bowl.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
  • Spread the beets out onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven until the beets are hot and have turned slightly brown around the edges, 10 to 15 minutes.

I thought this recipe was a bit bland. I think I would have added more spices to the pesto.

I'm not a big fan of pesto, but I thought this recipe was pretty good. The beets were roasted perfectly and the pesto added a nice flavor.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my pesto didn't turn out as flavorful as I expected. I think I might have used the wrong type of basil.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my beets turned out mushy. I think I might have roasted them for too long.

The pesto was a bit too oily for my taste. I think I would have used less olive oil.

The beets were a bit dry. I think I would have roasted them for a shorter amount of time.

These beets were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred them with a more savory pesto.

I've made this recipe several times now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The beets are roasted to perfection and the pesto adds a wonderful flavor. I like to serve them with goat cheese and a balsamic reduction.
