How to bake beets in just a few minutes

If you urgently need beets for salad (or maybe you like to eat it by itself) - then there is no time to wait until it is cooked. But you can use two life hacks on how to cook beets quickly and preserve their beneficial properties and substances as much as possible.

Method 1. Wash the beets well, dry with a paper towel and place in a roasting sleeve. You can take a regular plastic bag and tie it tightly. Make one puncture of the bag with a knife and send it to cook in the microwave for 10-15 minutes. Cooking time, of course, directly depends on the size of the beets.

After a while, remove the beets from the microwave, but leave them in the bag until they cool completely. Then cut and measure doneness. If the middle is a little raw, put the beetroot pieces in a bag, tie and microwave for another 4 minutes.

Method 2. We also cook in the microwave, but a little differently, the taste of the finished beets will differ from the first method.

Wash the beets well, pat with paper towels. Use a fork to pierce it in several places. Use a deep microwave ovenware (usually glass). Place the beets in a bowl, cover and cook for 10-15 minutes. If the middle is not baked, cook for another 5 minutes.
