Comments: 3/2/2015 - I used one sweet potato, half a red onion, and a can of sliced beets, drained and rinsed. I did not bake the cooked beets first, but added them to the other vegetables after the first 20 minutes.
11/16/2019 - I omitted the sweet potatoes, and used three medium beets, cut in about 1-inch cubes. For the spices I used 1/2 teaspoon each of garlic powder, black pepper, and sugar. I could have omitted the sugar since beets are sweet in themselves. I baked the beets for 55 minutes. It provided just over one serving each.
