Yield: 4 servings
From: The New Family Cookbook for People with Diabetes
4 beets (1 1/4 lb total), greens and all but 1 inch of stems removed
2 tsps caraway seeds
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Wash the beets well and place them on a square of heavy-duty aluminum
foil. Sprinkle them with the caraway seeds. Fold and pinch the oil to
seal the beets in the packet. Put the foil pouch in the oven and bake
for 50 minutes.
Remove the packet from the oven, place in the sink, and open. (Be
careful; the juice will stain.) Peel the beet skin with a small paring
knife and cut the beets in quarters. Dip the beets in the juices from
the bottom of the foil packet and sprinkle some caraway seeds from
the packet over them. Serve hot.
