The day we were at Epcot, I had this great salad for lunch at one of the pavalions. It was a roasted beet salad; I had never heard of anything like it before. The beets were cold, sliced, some yellow, some red, on a bed of greens, with feta cheese and spiced pecans, and grilled chicken. I don’t know what kind of dressing was on it, but it was sooooo good. I have a bag of beets (I put the greens in my salads) that I need to use. I was thinking of roasting the beets, slicing them, and freezing them in little single-serving packets. Anyone know how to roast beets? I have only peeled, sliced, and sauted them in butter before. Is it just like roasting other root vegetables?

That salad sounds really good! I wish you could find the dressing. I wonder if you emailed them, if they’d tell you. Never hurts to try.
To roast beets, wash and trim beets. Wrap individually in foil. Put in a 350 degree oven and let roast for 1 -1.5 hours (until tender). Take out of the oven. Once cool enough to handle, peel (skin should slip right off). I’ve also boiled mine for around 45 minutes, peeled and marinated in balsamic vinegar…yum.
I also just found this recipe. Sounds soooo good. http://www.saveonfoods.com/1/cookbook/appeal/appeal_garlic_roast_beets.htm .
Good luck!
