Baked Beets

Cut and diced style beets are a perfect compliment to a meat or fish entree. They’re also an excellent source of fiber and a half-cup serving of beets contains just 35 calories! Baking them this way makes them a little sweeter and they are much easier to handle.

Ingredients

  • 6 fresh beets
  • 1 tbsp Splenda
  • Disposable gloves

Directions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Step 2

Trim roots and stem but don't do anything else to the beets. Bake whole beets on a foil-lined cookie sheet until tender when pierced with a fork, about two hours.

Step 3

Cool and then peel, cut in chunks and sprinkle with splenda.

Step 4

Don't forget to wear disposable gloves to keep your hands from being dyed red!
