Name: Grilled Beets

Ingredients:

• 4 medium beets
• 1 tablespoon olive oil, or vegetable oil
• Kosher salt, to taste

Instructions:

• Heat a charcoal or gas grill to medium-hot. (You should be able to hold your hand about an inch over the cooking grate for about 2 seconds). If the grill is too hot the beets will burn before they cook through.
• While the grill heats, peel and slice the beets.
• Brush the beets with olive oil or vegetable oil. (Or, put the slices in a large bowl, drizzle with the oil and toss to coat the beets evenly.)
• Place the beets on the grill and sprinkle lightly with salt, if you like. If using a gas grill, close the cover and cook 8 to 10 minutes.
• Turn the beets over and continue cooking until the beets are tender and grill-marked, another 8 to 10 minutes.
• Serve the beets hot, warm, or at room temperature. Drizzle them with additional olive oil for serving, if you like.

Comments: 7/10/2021 - I had three medium beets and used 3 tablespoons of olive oil. The thickest slices were maybe 1/3 inch. I grilled them on the Weber, which was probably hotter than recommended. I cooked them 8 minutes on each side. Some closer to the coals were a little charred after the first 8 minutes. I moved them farther from the coals when turning them over, and they worked out fine. I lost two slices through the grate into the coals.
