Baked Beets (gluten free, dairy free)

Baked beets...beets taste like dirt right??? WRONG!! If you cook your beets the right way, they don't taste like dirt at all! I have never used beets until recently, and I found out that I love them! They are easy to cook and so nutritious.

3-4 small beets

1 sweet onion

2 Tbs olive oil

Heat your oven to 450F. Peel your beets and chop into cubes. Dice your onion. Coat beets and onion with olive oil. Season your beets and onion with salt, pepper, and cayenne (or whatever seasonings you prefer. Place on a baking sheet and cook for 30 minutes or until they are beginning to get crispy. If you take them out and taste them and they still taste earthy, cook them for a bit longer and they will not taste as earthy.

This is my favorite way to cook beets and they have a slightly sweet flavor!
