How to bake the whole beetroot in the oven?
To ensure that when baking in the oven the beet retains its taste qualities, we choose root crops with an intact skin and thoroughly wash them from dirt and sand. The root and root are not cut too short. We place the beets on the foil sheet and seal as tightly as possible. It is better to choose fruits of medium and small size and arrange them in several pieces in one envelope of foil.
The oven is preheated to a temperature mark of 200 degrees beforehand, and then we place beetroot in it and can withstand this temperature regime from one to one and a half hours. Readiness can be checked by softly entering the toothpick into root vegetables.
On readiness we let the beetroot cool a bit right in the foil in the cooling oven, and then turn it around, clean it and apply it to the destination.
How quickly to bake in the oven in foil large beets?
In the oven in the foil you can bake beets of any size and even large enough. The larger the size of the root, the naturally longer it is baked. For example, if its weight is about 300-400 g, then the time necessary for baking such beets in the oven in foil should be increased to two hours.
If you want to speed up the process a little, pour a little water into the baking tray containing the bundle. Unlike the preparation of small fruits, large beets are wrapped in foil each separately. For more moisture preservation, several layers of foil can be used or the beet can be placed first in the baking sleeve and then wrapped with foil.
You can prepare the beet baked in the foil in advance, and after full cooling in the oven along with the foil can be placed on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator, where it will be perfectly preserved for three days. The unused portion of the baked vegetable can be successfully frozen until the next application.
