How to Grill Beets
- Heat grill to medium heat. Pull out three large square of aluminum foil. Spray with nonstick cooking spray.
- Using tongs, divide beets into the foil evenly, sprinkle freshly diced rosemary on top of beets and drizzle with a bit of olive oil.olive oil
- Seal foil on all sides. Make sure to completely seal up the sides so no steam escapes, as this is important to softening and cooking through beets.
- Place foil packets on grill and close lid. Heat beets (in foil packet) over grill for about 20-22 minutes until fork tender but not mushy.
- Remove from heat and open foil packets carefully (note hot steam!). Dice down beets into chunks and serve with any extra marinade on the side. Sprinkle with additional fresh Rosemary if you like.
Notes
- Beets are incredibly messy and dye anything its pink juice touches. Keep a wet rag or paper towel on hand to clean fingers and counters during slicing process.
- Use tongs to transfer beets to avoid pink finger tips.
- Vegetable wash makes sure that the last bit of dirt is off vegetables.
- There is no need to peel beet (and I advise against it).
