If everyone feels like my sister does about beets, this post will have the lowest rating on record. But give these beets a try. How bad can they be? They’re covered with nuts and cheese!
Cut the leaves off of fresh beets, but do not peel. Toss with a little olive oil, salt and pepper. Wrap each beet in foil and roast at 400 degrees until fork tender, about 55 minutes. Let cool slightly, unwrap, rub off skins, and slice into wedges. Toss with crumbled blue cheese, roasted pistachios, fresh thyme leaves and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
