Roasted beets taste like sweet corn (at least to me they do). I started cooking beets after going to the farmers' market more often and finding a great recipe in How to Pick a Peach by Russ Parsons.
Roasted beets
Adapted from How to Pick a Peach by Russ Parsons
Ingredients:
1 bunch beets, washed
olive oil to taste
red wine vinegar to taste
salt and pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Leave about an inch of the tops on each beet, as well as the bottom root. The beets will keep their color better.
Wrap beets in three layers of aluminum foil. Roast for about an hour or until you can pierce a beet with a knife. Take the beets out of the oven, open up the package and let the beets cool down a little. Wear gloves or cover your hands with plastic bags because the beets stain everything. Peel the beets and cut them in quarters. Drizzle with olive oil and red wine vinegar. Season with salt and pepper.

Roasting does something wonderful to vegetables. Have you tried roasted cauliflower?
