Vaccum-packed beets are a fabulous convenience food! But if you prefer to roast your own beets, preheat the oven to 400°F. Divide 2 lbs of beets between two large pieces of aluminum foil; drizzle each with 1/2 tbsp oil and season with salt and pepper. Fold foil to form tightly sealed packets. Place packets on a baking sheet and roast until beets are tender when pierced with a fork, about 40 to 50 minutes. Cool beets for 10 minutes, then open packets (be careful of escaping steam). Using a paper towel, rub skins off beets (they should slip off easily).
