- ½ tsp kosher salt, divided

For the dressing

Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Place each beet on a square of aluminum foil, drizzle with 1 tbsp of the olive oil total, and season with 1/4 tsp of the salt. Wrap each beet tightly in its foil and arrange the packets on a baking sheet.

Roast the beets until a paring knife slides through the center with no resistance, 50–60 minutes depending on size. Remove from the oven and let the packets rest, still sealed, for 10 minutes.
