Just BEET it...
Just took them off after a little less than 90 minutes...I did turn them over about half way through the cook and added some more salt & DP...
I didn't cook anything else last night, just had a couple deli ham sandwiches to go with my plate...DELISH!
And I'm one who wouldn't go near a beet until I found out how good fresh, roasted beets can taste!
Have a GREAT day!

I freaking love beets. Good work my friend!

Oh sure, rub it in. Well, in my defense, I was leaving on a week long trip the next day, so ...I am fully aware of that already...no over-reaction here
BTW ... neat cook ... will keep that in mind.

Looks great, Jay. Love fresh roasted beets!!
I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

This is very timely. I have a few beets lying around that I was trying to figure out how to cook. Thanks!#1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX.

SSN686 said:EggHatter is trying a new diet that has beets as one of the main items one day so we decided to roast some fresh beets...here they are just put on the small Egg, indirect dome temp just over 400...only some olive oil, salt and DP Shaking the Tree sprinkled on them...

I usually boil them in a spicy brine with the skin. You can remove the skin with your fingers after they're cooked. I have roasted them before, but I'll peel them first as you want the seasoning on the outside. I love beets.

Morning Phatchris:
My wife scrubbed them, but didn't cut the skin off (she did cut away some at the top/bottom to remove the "greens", but didn't peel)...once scrubbed well just rub with olive oil and roast...the remaining skin softens up enough that I don't have a problem eating it.
Have a GREAT day!

Thanks. Now I can't get that song out of my head. Great lead guitar solo by Eddie Van Halen though. https://youtu.be/JfyI5VkyPVU

The best beets I've done were small ones, dug mid season. Scrubbed, and then baked encased in canning salt in a pyrex dish. I'd tried earlier by mixing the salt w. water to form a paste, and got a slurry. Useless. Didn't try mixing w. egg white, didn't want to waste the protein. Just misted until the salt was damp. That was enough to crust it up. Turned out really well. After peeling the skins, there was enough salt to flavor them nicely.
Different beets have different flavors. Chiogga beets, which have rings of red and white flesh, tend to be really sweet. I'm growing some golden beets this summer. They tend to have a much milder flavor, and make a wonderful golden beet borscht.

This is what happens when I put something on the egg and walk away thinking I'll be back in a few minutes to regulate the temp. Blackened beets! Luckily, once I pulled the burned skin off, they still tasted pretty good. Thanks for the idea @SSN686!

That is a good idea Michael. I will start paying attention to my vents so I know where they need to be!
