Slow-Cooker Roasted Beets

"I can often get a large package of beets for a dollar or so at the reduced produce rack, but then need to use them up fairly quickly. Taking a cue from a couple of other recipes, I've found that roasting them in the slow cooker works really well. I just entered the number of beets I used most recently, use whatever amount you have."

  1. Ok the beets cooked perfectly but the crock pot blowup. Not sure what happened but at the three hour mark I heard a loud cracking pop and Ahhh my crock pot had cracked (have never seen or even heard of one splitting like this during cooking. Anyway the beets were fine and were made into a nice beet salad. A quick note do not worry about peeling them as I was so upset about the crock pot I just started slicing and the skin just slid right off the slices. Thanks so much for the post.
     
  2. Tastes great! Love beets! Appreciate technique so I could do other stuff. Easy and skins peeled off very fast. And better yet, my crockpot is fine. :) I did line it and glad as some juice escaped. Mine took longer but that was with dh deciding if they were tender or not-who knows? He said 6 hours and they varied in size from baby to 2 inches in diameter. Thank you duonyte.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

My screen name is a diminutive in Lithuanian for bread, so you won't be suprised to learn that I love to bake bread. In recent years I have been baking a lot of sourdough breads and have several starters sitting in my refrigerator. But I like to cook a lot of other things, as well, especially from various cultures. The cat wishes I would concentrate on meat and fish... I joined a few years ago but started posting recipes and participating in forums just recently - I wish I had done so earlier. Recipezaar is a great community! Right now I am a co-host for the Breads and Baking and the Eastern Europe forums - I hope to see you there!
