Oven-Roasted Beets and Garlic (WW)

Submitted by AmyZoe

"I've never made garden-fresh beets before, and I hate the canned ones and the pickled ones. A friend grew them in their garden, and this was a terrific way to eat them. They grow here in Idaho so it's probably about time I cooked some. Recipe courtesy of Weight Watchers New Complete Cookbook."
