Cooking baked beets
1. So, for baking, select only good root vegetables, without damage, abrasions and scratches, with a good smooth skin. Cut the beet tails, and wash the fruits themselves well under running water. You can even use a brush to clean it. Then dry the beets well with a paper towel or cotton napkin.
2. Next, from the roll of foil, cut the required cut into which the entire root crop will fit. Wrap the beets tightly with foil so that there are no gaps or gaps, otherwise they will burn in these places.
3. Also, in the absence of food foil, beets can be cooked in the sleeve. To do this, place the fruits in it and fix it on both sides with threads or the supplied paper wires. Several beets can be placed in the sleeve at the same time.
4. Place the vegetable on a baking sheet and send it to bake at 200 degrees for 2 hours. Check its readiness with a toothpick. Pierce the fruit straight through the foil, if it is soft, then it is ready.
5. Do not unfold the finished vegetable until it cools completely. And if you are not going to cook it at all today, then you can store it in the refrigerator in foil (sleeve) for up to 3 days. I also note that baked beets retain all the juices and vitamins. It does not diminish in size and volume. You can bake beetroots of any diameter. But the more they are, the longer they will bake.
