I have always loved beets but I don't know that I've ever had fresh ones. Well, maybe in restaurants, but not at home, so I'm interested to experiment. I love them plain or in salads. I'll have to try with the balsamic. I love a beets & goat cheese salad too. Any time estimate on how long it will take them to cook til you can stick a knife in? Otherwise I'll be opening the oven every 5 mins. tina – thanks for the beet tips! I have always loved beets but I don’t know that I’ve ever had fresh ones.
