Roasted Beets

 Preheat oven to 375*
Cut beets into quarters or eighths (so wedges are approximately one square inch). Mix beets, salt, pepper, and olive oil in a bowl until beets are well coated. Make a boat of tin foil and fill boat with beets, leaving enough extra foil at the edges to fold over and cover beets. Firmly seal foil around beets and place on a baking sheet (to prevent dripping) at the top rack of the oven. Roast beets until desired tenderness, about 25-35 minutes, checking on beets occasionally by peeling back foil and spearing beets with a fork or knife.
 
*If you have a barbeque you can roast the beets (still in foil boat) over a medium high flame. This makes a great side dish for summer cookouts and picnics!
