Recipe Notes
- I used a Pyrex baking dish for this recipe, but you also could use a metal baking pan lined with aluminum foil, which makes for easier cleanup (beets can be messy)!
- The bright color of beets can rub off on fingers, clothing or counters, so quick cleanup to avoid staining can be helpful.
- If you want to stir the beets halfway through the baking time, feel free, but it's not absolutely necessary.
Here's how to make it:
- Put the beets into a large mixing bowl.
- Add the olive oil, lemon juice and seasonings. Stir to combine and toss to coat.
- Pour the beets into a 13x9-inch baking dish. Season with salt and pepper, if desired. Cover with the casserole lid or aluminum foil.
- Bake in a preheated 350-degree F oven for about 45 to 50 minutes, or until crisp-tender.
