Baked Beets With Balsamic Vinegar - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 medium beets, tops trimmed and scrubbed
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
salt
fresh ground pepper

Preparation

Heat oven to 400\u00b0F
Place each beet on a square of aluminum foil and wrap tightly.
Place on baking sheet.
Bake until the beets are tender when pierced with a wooden toothpick, usually 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
Poke holes in foil to let steam escape and carefully unwrap.
When the beets are cool enough to handle, slip off the skins.
Slice the beets and place them in a bowl.
Add the vinegar and salt and pepper to taste.
Toss to combine, adding a little more vinegar if needed.
Let stand at least 15 minutes before serving.
