Meghan and Jo — Ha! And I thought *I* was the only one. That cracks me up. Sarah, that sounds awesome — in past posts, you actually turned me onto roasting random vegetables it would never have occurred to me to roast, notably cauliflower. I'll have to try beets, because that sounds good! Bon, Liz, Mama D — I’m so pleased to discover beet-loving kindred spirits!

Maybe because my mom makes grape jelly out of beets and I know how good that is. It would have been great if it had stayed purple. Oh well! That sounds delicious actually.

Peel, cut into uniform pieces about the thickness of your finger, toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper, place on greased, tin-foiled (optional) baking sheet and roast at 475 for 13-15 minutes, tossing them halfway through cooking. Let them get crusty on the edges. Sautee the greens (chopped, with the stems and/or some chard) in olive oil until softened. Add salt, pepper, and a splash of balsamic vinegar. Add the roasted beets (and for color, you can roast some carrots too and add them), add some chunks of goat cheese, stir a little (or not. the cheese can be stirred in to make a kind of creamy sauce, or left in chunks). Not kidding, this is like candy. I made this and served it over Israeli couscous. Derek, not a beet lover, couldn't get enough.

I drive myself crazy. I think if somone offered me a piece, I would actually try it, in spite of my loathing of all things beety.
