Beets have always been one of my favorite vegetables. The oven does most of the work, you clean them, peel, cut them and serve.
According to Healthline beets provide some impressive health benefits. Not to mention, they are low in calories, great source of nutrients, including fiber, folate and vitamin C. Beets also contain nitrates and pigments that may help lower blood pressure and improve athletic performance.
The below recipe is very easy. The beets can be prepared in the oven the day before and can preserve in the refrigerator for a couple of days. Add the horseradish as you go along and taste to your liking. I like horseradish and have tendency to add more than I should.
Perfect quick lunch at the office, or side vegetables with any fish or chicken.
