Baked Beetroot
Beetroot is usually served cold in salads, but it is also good served hot. Be careful when preparing the beetroots for cooking - if the skin is damaged the colour will 'bleed' during baking. For the same reason, do not prod them with a fork to see if they are done, but instead test whether the skin slides off easily.

Preparation
Step 1
Pre-heat oven to 180 °C / 350 °F / Gas 4.
Wash the beetroots but do not trim. Wrap them in greased foil or place in a greased ovenproof dish. Cover tightly and bake for 2-3 hours. When the beetroots are cooked the skin will slide off easily. Serve with a slice cut off the top, but not skinned, topped with the butter or soured cream and seasoned to taste.
