Answer 3

Oh but they are very sweet.  They are sweet and smell like the earth's soil.  I love beets and here in NY they are in season from the farm stands.

I wash them and place them in foil and bake them at 350 until a knife can pierce them easily. Once done, I take paper towels and peel off their outer skin, slice them, a little olive oil, S&P, garlic and onion powder and serve them as a side dish or salad.  

The family and teen love them.  As a matter of fact I have already prepared some right now for a side dish to our BBQ burgers.
