Ingredients
-
2 large beets (1 1/2 pounds), trimmed, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch slices
-
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
-
¼ teaspoon salt
-
¼ teaspoon ground pepper
-
⅓ cup water
-
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
-
5 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese
-
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh oregano
Directions
-
Position racks in upper and lower thirds of oven; preheat to 425°F.
-
Toss beets, oil, salt and pepper together in a large broiler-safe pot. Arrange the beets in a single layer in the pot. Combine water and vinegar in a measuring cup; pour over the beets. Cover the pot and place on the lower oven rack. Bake, flipping the beets halfway through, until very tender, about 1 hour. Remove from the oven and turn broiler to high.
-
Transfer the beets to a large rimmed baking sheet, arranging them in a single layer. Press on each beet with the bottom of a mason jar or glass to flatten it, but keep it intact. Sprinkle with feta. Broil on the upper rack until the beets are crisped on the edges and the feta is browned in spots, 4 to 5 minutes. Sprinkle with oregano and serve.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.
* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
