Beets

If you want to cut your cook time, don’t cook your beets whole as many recipes suggest. Peel them and slice them into eight pieces. Lay them flat on a cookie sheet and bake at 425 degrees for around 20 minutes. Once they’re done, you can throw them into a salad with some arugula, pecans, and low-fat feta cheese.
