Okay, I’ll admit it, I’m kind of addicted to beets. I hate to boil them because I know that removes some of the dense nutrients from these delectable little morsels. So while I was getting ready to start school with my big kids the other day I decided to throw some beets in the crock for dinner.
I peeled them first, and I will say that I would have preferred the taste had they been left to cook with the peel on.
Line your crock with heavy duty foil, put beets in there.
Drizzle about 1/4 cup (or less) of melted coconut oil, and sprinkle some salt and pepper on top.
Very neatly close the foil over the beets (just kidding:), and put the lid on your crock. Cook on high for 4-5 hours, or on low for 6-7 hours. It all depends on the size of your beet, for larger beets just make sure you have plenty of time.
Cut ‘em up and pour that wonderful coconut oil mixture back over the top, they are so tasty!! I’m not sure why but I didn’t take a picture of the final product, trust me though, they were yummy :) The great thing about doing it in the foil, I didn’t even have to clean my crock when they were finished, AND we ate all those vitamins instead of washing them down the sink! :) So delicious!
