When I bake sweet potatoes I can barely get them peeled because I want to eat all of the caramely goodness of the dark spots where they sat on the pan. Butter and salt & are all that's needed. Have you tried cooking beets the same way & serving with sour cream like baked potatoes? Saw it on The Chew and they looked delicious.
