How to Bake Your Beets Before Pickling
Cooking beets in the oven versus a boiling water bath is the easiest way to prepare them for pickling. Here’s how:
- Trim off the green leaves and stems and rinse the beets under cold water. Next, wrap each beet individually in foil.
- Place the wrapped beets on a baking sheet and pop them on the oven rack. Roast them in the oven at 400°F for 40-60 minutes.
- Check how tender the beets are by poking them with a fork. They should be a bit firm, but not hard.
- Finally, peel the skins off the beets while they’re still warm and it comes off easily.
Preparing Quick Pickled Beets
To kick off the process, allow the baked beets to first cool at room temperature.
