Ingredients

• 4 medium beets
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon fresh dill

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Trim the tops and roots of the beets, leaving a small amount of stem. Wash and scrub the beets thoroughly to remove any dirt.

Step 3

Place the beets on a large piece of aluminum foil. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper. Wrap the foil tightly around the beets to create a sealed packet.

Step 4

Place the foil packet on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 60 minutes, or until the beets are tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 5

While the beets are roasting, prepare the horseradish cream: In a medium bowl, whisk together 0.5 cup of heavy cream, 2 tablespoons of prepared horseradish, 1 teaspoon of lemon juice, and a pinch of salt until thickened to soft peaks. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Step 6

Remove the roasted beets from the oven and let them cool until they are cool enough to handle. Use a paper towel to rub the skins off the beets; they should slide off easily.

Step 7

Slice the peeled beets into wedges or rounds and arrange them on a serving platter.

Step 8

Dollop the horseradish cream over the top and garnish with 1 tablespoon of freshly chopped dill.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
