Equipment

  • Food Processor
  • Baking sheet

Ingredients  

  • 2 beets (any color), washed with stems and leaves removed

Instructions 

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  • Place beets on one side of a piece of aluminum foil or parchment paper and fold in half over the beets like a book. Pinch the edges to fully seal the package (this way they will steam in the oven while they roast).
  • Bake for 45 minutes until fork tender.
  • Open the foil, and let roasted beets cool until you’re able to touch them.
  • Use a ziplock bag or gloves to cover your hands and peel the beets. This prevents your hands from getting stained. The skin should slide right off.
  • Cut and puree beets in a food processor until smooth. Add water little by little if you need to thin out the puree.
  • Serve or make a baby food combination with another puree.
