Baked Beets in Rosemary Vinegar

I have never purchased beets at the store before, other than the canned beets for a summer salad.So, in effort to be more adventurous with my pallet and ambition to learn how to prepare a variety of fresh foods, I purchased my first bunch of beets. Now beets are one of the most healthiest vegetables you can eat! They have a variety of properties known to help the body and add many nutrients. This recipe came from AllRecipes.com

Tip: wear gloves or use a paper plate when peeling and cutting the beets. The beets have a natural strong color, often used as a natural food coloring.

Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon of fresh rosemary
- 1 clove garlic, peeled and crushed
- 3 medium beets, peeled & sliced into rounds

Preparation:
1. In a medium bowl, combine the balsamic, rosemary, and garlic. Place beets in mixture and marinate for at least 20 minutes.
2. Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees
3. Bake the beets in a safe covered casserole dish for 25 minutes.
4. Carefully remove the lid and serve :)
