Microwave Roasted Beets

Not many people like beets, but this simple approach might make you into a beet believer. Ingredients:

One large fresh beet per person, in a microwave-safe bowl.
Cooking spray, like Pam.
Butter, or good margarine without trans-fat (I recommend Brummel & Brown).
Salt and pepper.
Dill weed. (optional)

Place beets, trimmed to bulbs, in bowl, cover with wax paper or other safe microwave-containing element, but spray with a bit of cooking spray before covering. Also before covering, add a little water.

Nuke in the microwave, according to common sense. It should take at least several minutes. Test with fork or sharp knife.

When beets are tender, slice and serve with butter, salt, pepper and dill weed (if desired).

One of modern life's quick and simple pleasures. Goes great as a veggie side with any meat.
