Take off some of the stems from the golden beets, leaving some to retain moisture during cooking.

Wrap the beets tightly in aluminum foil.

Place the wrapped beets on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil to catch any leaking juices.

Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C).

Roast the beets in the oven for about 1 hour, checking for fork tenderness.

If not fork tender, return the beets to the oven for an additional 15 minutes.

Once done, let the beets cool down and then run them under cool water to help remove the skin.

Peel the skin off the beets; younger beets should peel easily, while older beets may need a knife or vegetable peeler.

Slice the beets into halves and remove any blemishes.

Slice the onion using a mandolin and add a little salt and vinegar to it to speed up the pickling process.

Combine the sliced beets and onions in a bowl, adding olive oil, salt, pepper, and vinegar to taste.
