How to roast beets in the oven without foil

[@ibstayfly]

I love beets. So do i take the skin off afterwards i usually take the skin off before cooking it. Can you cook beets in a toaster oven if so what temperature do i cook it on. My regular oven doesn't work so i use my toaster oven to cook stuff Mines usually don't come out like this after the toaster oven

@@ibstayfly yes the skin slips off very easily after roasting. But leaving it on keeps the beets protected and moist while in the oven. A toaster oven works perfectly for this. I would keep the temps at 400F. But the cook time may be faster since the beets are closer to the heating elements

Just found out the plastic cuts off into the food when cutting plastic cutting boards.

Save energy and microwave them in minutes. We need to conserve energy.

Agreed oven roasting beets takes a lot of time and energy. I usually do it when I have the oven on already while baking sourdough bread or other things. I cannot however get behind microwave cooking. I understand, it's convenient to reheat leftovers. For cooking actual food there are other energy conserving methods. I am working on another video for next week about cooking beets in the Instant Pot. Pressure cooking also uses less time and energy than the oven

But in microwave for how long?

@@nancyjuszczak6216 as long as it takes, you test them after say 5 minutes and if you insert a blade and it doesn’t feel cooked just give it a bit more until it is tender.
