- 1 Tbs lemon juice
- Honey to taste, optional

Instructions
- Wrap beet in foil and roast in a 400°F oven 1 hour, or until tender. Remove from oven. As soon as beet is cool enough to handle, remove foil, slip off and discard skin, and slice in half. Stash ½ in the refrigerator for later; cut remaining ½ beet into large chunks.

Notes from Denise:
Roast 4 beets now and you’ll have enough for smoothies and snacks throughout your detox! Don’t have time to roast the beets? Use packaged roasted beets, found in the produce section.
