smoky roast beets

[JonB_in_Glencoe]

about once a year, in the fall, while I have the smoker going...I'll put a few Beets in there to get a bit of smoke on them, then finish them in the oven in a covered pan. They are pretty good while warm, but they are Great as a cold side dish the next day...sliced fairly thin with a slight drizzle of olive oil and maybe put a fresh basil leaf on top of each slice.

I add NO salt or pepper.
just the flavor combination of the sweet beet and that smokiness on the skin (yes I leave the skins on).

Beets, the only vegetable I don't like.
I grow them because SWMBO loves them. I will have to tell her about this way to cook them.

About 20 minutes in the smoke...depending on how the smoke is rollin.
The few I did yesterday were large, and took 2 hours in the oven at 350º to finish them...just check tenderness with a fork.

Hmmm smoke them just enough to slip the skins off then make pickled beets...
