Found some lonely beets the other day that I had to use.  Didn’t find anything exciting while researching recipes, so decided to just throw some stuff together.

So, first the fun — taking those innocent beets and peeling them.

And getting some beautifully colored hands in return (didn’t have any gloves).

I hadn’t used my toaster oven for ages so decided to put it to good use since I didn’t have a ton of beets.  Warmed that up to about 425 and then tossed the beets with some olive oil, oregano, basil and a couple other spices.  Covered the toaster oven sheet in foil and put the (quartered) beets on there.

Roasted them for about 30-40 minutes, until they were done enough for me.  When they were finished, I tossed them with some hearts of palm and pistachios.  So good!
