sweet&sour baked beets

Baked beets are not only extremely healthy but also delicious both as they are baked and as a basis for further culinary experiments. 

Baked beets take time to prepare so I always prepare them in a big batch. Some of them I consume immediately after baking, cause they are soooo good. The rest of them I either refrigerate or freeze for a later use.
