  • Preheat your oven to 400℉ (or 200℃).
  • Place the beets on a large piece of aluminum foil and drizzle with 1½ teaspoons olive oil. Fold and crimp the edges to create a purse
  • Place the garlic (with the skin on) on a small piece of aluminum foil and drizzle with 1/2 teaspoon olive oil. Fold and crimp the edges to create a purse.
  • Place the foil packages on a rimmed baking sheet and slide onto the middle rack of your preheated oven. Roast the beets for 45 to 50 minutes and the garlic for only 25 minutes.
  • Remove and let them cool before handling.
