Rinse the beets under water in the sink.

Remove the green stems from the beets, cutting off the tips from the root stem.

Slice a piece of aluminum foil and cut it in half to wrap the beets.

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Wrap each beet individually in aluminum foil, sealing tightly.

Place the wrapped beets in a baking dish and put them in the oven for 30 to 45 minutes, depending on their size.

Unwrap the beets and let them cool slightly before peeling the skins off using a paper towel or a knife.

Cut the beets into a size you like before eating.

For the dressing, mix olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and salt in a bowl.
