Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Place the scrubbed beets on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and wrap each beet loosely in foil. Roast for 45–55 minutes, until a knife slides through the center with no resistance.

While the beets roast, rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rice and 2 cups water in a medium saucepan, bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to the lowest heat setting, cover, and cook for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let steam, covered, for 10 minutes.
