Roasted beets refers to a dish where beetroots are cooked by roasting in an oven. The beetroot is cut into small pieces and placed on a baking sheet, then covered with oil or salt before being put into the oven for roasting until tender. Once done, they can be peeled and served as a side dish, added to salads, or used in other recipes such as hummus or deviled eggs. Roasted beets have a rich, earthy flavor that is both sweet and slightly bitter, making them a popular ingredient in many dishes.
