Roasted Golden Beets are my favorite next to the Ruby red styles, because of their earthier flavors and the there isn't any red dye to worry about staining.

During the Spring, is when I find them easily in most produce sections of the supermarket.

I always opt for the small bunches of beets as they tend to be much sweeter in flavor.

Golden Beet Recipes

Roasted, steamed, boiled, air-fried, golden beets are delicious and they never leave a mess.

Prep time: 10 MinCook time: 55 MinTotal time: 1 H & 5 M

Ingredients

Roasted Golden Beets (see notes for other cooking methods and additional seasonings)
6 whole Golden Beets
salt, and pepper to taste
3 tablespoons of olive oil
1 teaspoon (or more to taste) granulated garlic powder
foil or parchment paper
Optional: 1 tablespoon of honey or brown sugar just a little on each beet
Note: see other suggestions for seasonings under notes

Instructions

Scrub the beets with a vegetable brush to remove dirt and cut off the stems.
Note: Beet greens are delicious in a salad with Italian dressing.
Beets do not need to be peeled as the skin will fall off easily after roasting. I do peel them slightly to let the seasoning penetrate better.
Place the cleaned beets on a sheet foil of parchment paper
Season brush with olive oil and seasoning and honey if using.
Fold up tightly to seal.
Bake at 400 degrees for around 55 minutes.
If a knife or fork goes in easily they are done, continue roasting if they are still hard. This also depends on the sizes.
I usually add two beets to a packet of foil.
Slice and these are delicious as they are roasted or can be used to add to salads, or a side dish for any meal.
