They are a very rich source of vitamin B9 and manganese with compelling amounts of vitamin A, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin B3, vitamin B5, vitamin B6, vitamin C, calcium, potassium, magnesium, phosphorous, zinc, copper, and selenium.

Beets are far and away the top food source of betalains, which are a class of red to yellow pigments, that demonstrate a variety of health-promoting biological activities, reducing risk of cancer, cardiovascular disease, and type 2 diabetes, with emerging evidence of benefit to neurodegenerative diseases as well.
Olive oil is consistently linked with health benefits, including reducing cardiovascular disease risk (both heart disease and stroke), Alzheimer’s risk, and cancer risk, improving blood sugar regulation and insulin sensitivity, reducing likelihood of weight gain (and maybe even aid in weight loss), reducing joint pain and swelling in rheumatoid arthritis, and generally reduce markers of inflammation.

Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Lay a large piece of aluminum foil in a baking dish, lifting the sides to create an edge all the way around
- Combine the beets, vinegar, oil, and salt. Pour into the foil. Fold the edges of the foil up and over the beets to make a pocket for the beets to cook in, sealing the edges closed. (Alternatively, you can use a greased baking dish with a lid).
- Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until the beets are tender (it depends on the size of your beets)
