This roasted beets recipe makes ordinary beets taste tender and delicious with just a few sweet and good-for-you ingredients. —Wendy Stenman, Germantown, Wisconsin

Ingredients

1 pound fresh beets (about 3 medium), peeled
4 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
3 to 5 fresh rosemary sprigs

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400°. Cut each beet into 6 wedges; place in a shallow dish. Add olive oil and salt; toss gently to coat.
2. Cut a piece of heavy-duty foil about 12 in. long; place in a 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Arrange beets on foil; top with rosemary. Fold foil around beets and seal tightly.
3. Bake until tender, about 1 hour. Open foil carefully to allow steam to escape. Discard rosemary sprigs.
