Then I sliced them (you can grate), and spread the pieces on an un-oiled cookie sheet, spritzed a nice olive oil on top, and tossed sea salt around like fairy dust. After the beet slices had baked in a 350 degree oven for 30 minutes or so, they got brown at the edges, and a little leathery. If you&#8217;ve sliced them thinner, they get crisp. They&#8217;re so delicious. You can roast any root vegetable like this, and the most wonderful smell will fill your winter kitchen.
