3. Wrap or Place: Next, wrap the washed beetroots individually in greased foil or place them in a greased ovenproof dish. This step helps in retaining moisture during the baking process.

4. Bake: Cover the wrapped or placed beetroots tightly and transfer them into the preheated oven. Allow them to bake for approximately 2½ to 3 hours. Baking time may vary depending on the size and freshness of the beetroots.

5. Check for Doneness: To determine if the beetroots are cooked, gently test them by seeing if the skin slides off easily. Avoid using a fork to prod them, as this may cause the color to ‘bleed.’

6. Serve: Once cooked, remove the beetroots from the oven. To serve, cut a slice off the top of each beetroot, leaving the skin intact. Top with a dollop of butter or sour cream, according to your preference. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
