Grandma's Simple Method for Cooking Beets: Easier and Tastier
Beetroot season is over, and many people are stocking their kitchens with this healthy root vegetable. Beets are a versatile vegetable that are used in countless recipes, so finding a suitable option is not difficult. Boiling beets is the most common method of preparing them, but as many food bloggers will attest, there are many other ways to unlock their flavor potential.
One such method is provided by the channel "Gastronomic Schizophrenia". It recommends starting with thoroughly washing the beets under running water. Next, you need to cut off the top and bottom of the root vegetable and carefully remove all remaining parts of the top. Then you need to prepare the peeled beets for baking.
The next step, described in the publication nord-news.ru, is preparing the beets for baking. The peeled tubers should be laid out on several layers of foil. Then sprinkle the beets with sugar and salt, add a little olive oil and wrap tightly in foil to get unique balls.
Place the foil-wrapped beetroot "balls" in an oven preheated to 180-200 degrees for about 1 hour. You can check the readiness of the beets with a regular skewer, toothpick, knife or match. Pierce the beets and check if they are easy to pierce.
According to experts, beets baked in this way are much tastier than boiled ones. Baking preserves all the juices inside the root vegetable, giving it a rich, bright taste. Adding sugar and salt allows you to create new flavors without changing the natural color and taste of the beets. Thus, baking is a simple and effective way to reveal the full potential of this amazing vegetable.
