Recipe View Serve: Open the packet carefully to avoid steam burns. The beets can be served warm, straight from the foil, or cooled completely. The skins are typically tender enough to eat, but you can peel them if desired.

For enhanced flavor, add a sprig of fresh thyme or rosemary to the foil packet before grilling.
Different varieties of beets can be mixed for a colorful presentation.
Grilled beets can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving.
To test for doneness, pierce a beet through the foil with a fork. It should slide in easily when they are ready.

    I didn't have foil, so I used a grill basket. Worked great, just had to turn them occasionally.

  • Darlene Wehner

    Next time, I'll try adding a little bit of brown sugar for extra caramelization.
