Any experienced cook knows one simple rule: if the recipe states that you need to add boiled beets, then it is better to cook the product in the oven.

Boiled beets seem delicious, but they have one major drawback that is difficult for true gourmets to accept: a watery flavor.

Therefore, the salad will never be rich and bright enough. Therefore, use the oven instead of a saucepan.

There are no difficulties in this preparatory process. First, we begin to wash the product thoroughly to remove all the sand. Some cooks even use brushes to be sure that all dirt is removed. You can also use the hard part of a regular sponge.

Remember that it is important to leave the tails. If you remove them, the beetroot will lose its juiciness and will turn out dry. Such an ingredient is not suitable for a salad.
