Peeling beets is only hard if you’re doing it raw, like a madman. Once you know this trick, you’ll be roasting beets just to have the excuse to peel them. I’ve started buying extra beets because it’s so satisfying. I’ve even peeled beets for friends just to show off.
So go ahead—roast those beets, grab a paper towel, and peel like a champion. Your hands will stay clean, your sanity intact, and you’ll finally understand why beets aren’t the enemy—they’re just shy vegetables who need a little heat to bare their souls. And one final piece of advice: don’t lick your fingers unless you want to look like a vampire who just ate dessert. You’ve been warned.
