Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350.
Step 2
Clean any dirt or debris off the beets. Leave about 1/4 bit of the stem intact. This will keep the juices contained. Wrap the beets in foil and place on a pan. Alternatively, bake in a pan with a lid.
Step 3
Bake for 60-75 minutes. This will depend on the size of the beets. We are just going for a knife easily piercing into the center, but not overly soft. (Baking can be done ahead of time up to a few days.)
Step 4
Peel and slice. When the beets cool down, the peels will slip off easily. Slice into 1/4 inch slices. Brush with olive oil, balsamic and a sprinkle of salt.
Step 5
Preheat grill to high heat. This usually takes about 15 minutes, let it get good and hot. Place beet slices in a single layer on the grill or in a grill basket (if the beets are small they can slip through the grates).
Step 6
Grill about 5 minutes each side or until grilled to your preference.
