Cut the tops/greens off an inch above the beetroot and save for making
delicious greens. They cook much faster than the dense greens like
collards and some mustards, not as fast as spinach or the bok choys.
As to the beet roots, wash them gently and wrap securely in aluminum
foil. Bake at 350F for 45 minutes. Peel with sharp paring knife,
slice, season, butter if you like, eat. Or go on to another
preparation with cooked beets. There are several other ways of
cooking beets. The advantage of this one is, no fuss, no mess. -
