- 1 3-pound box kosher salt
- 1 bunch beets, cleaned
- 3-4 rosemary sprigs (optional)
- In a shallow roasting pan, create a base layer of salt about ¼-inch high. Arrange beets in the pan evenly spaced and place rosemary, if using, around them. Pour the salt over the beets until completely covered and slip into the oven. Baking for approximately 1 hour- 1 hour 15 minutes or until the beets are easily pierced with a paring knife. Cool to room temperature before peeling — the skins should slip right off!
