Baked beets

We often use beetroot for cooking various dishes. It is impossible to imagine borscht, vinaigrette or "fur coat" without it. It is very pleasant that many grow beets in their backyard and then they can use this environmentally friendly vegetable for cooking. And also beets at a very affordable price can be purchased all year round in any supermarket. Therefore, the hostesses have recorded a huge number of recipes with beets.

And almost always in the recipe they write "boil the beets until cooked." And you just try to replace boiled with baked, and you will see how the dish is immediately transformed. It will become much tastier and healthier, because baked beets are not as watery as boiled ones. Also, baked beets have a rich color and taste, are distinguished by increased sweetness, which positively affects the taste and appearance of the dish.
