1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
2 tablespoon lemon juice
½ tsp. salt

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Peel the beets quarter them and in a large bowl toss the beets with 1 tablespoon olive oil and place them on a cookie sheet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and roast at 425º for 20 minutes, turn beets over and roast another 20 minutes or until tender.
