Charred Whole Beets

One of my favorite things to do with beets is... treat them like any other root vegetable! Here’s what I do: Buy small yellow or red beets (however many you want). Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C).

Wash them really well and pat dry. Rub each beet with ¹⁄₂ tsp extra-virgin olive oil. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle each one with ¹⁄₄ tsp kosher salt and ¹⁄₄ tsp coarse black pepper. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 35 minutes. The beets should be very soft.

Use a large spoon or the bottom of a glass to press down on each beet and gently smash it. Drizzle ¹⁄₄ tsp rice vinegar and ¹⁄₂ tsp honey over each beet. Return to the oven and bake for another 8 minutes. Serve with a drizzle of techinah for the best beets ever!!
