Roasted beets with sweet onion

I went to my parents today at lunchtime and opened the fridge to take a peek. Ooooh. Roasted beets. I was so happy. There's nothing like a plate of beets slow roasted with sweet onion. I remember in my New York days I was languishing and wanted a good pick-me-up. I went to the produce stand on the corner and picked up some beautiful beets and vidalia onion. I cut the onion into quarters and slathered the beet and onion in olive oil and sprinkled sea salt on everything, wrapped them in foil and roasted them in the oven for an hour. The color of beets alone is divine but the flavor was wonderful and the iron boost was just what I needed.
