very nice. i've never cooked beets before (but im a big fan of my nanna's pickled beets 
) and i was very happy with the results. i baked my beets at 450°F. covered with foil for about an hour and then took off the skins and sliced them up. i didn't have any orange rind and skipped the almonds, but it was still very nice. the orange flavour came through nicely. thanks derf

This was a nice change from the typically sweeter beet dishes. The orange flavor comes through nicely. I had precooked a couple of beets and made a scaled down version for DH and me. It is good and something I will probably make again.

I used canned beets and then followed the recipe. The orange and beet flavor is great. It's a keeper.

Lovely side dish! I used my canned beets, so I had this done really quick. The orange is a VERY good compliment to the beets. I added 1 teaspoon sugar to get a sweet tart taste. I used toasted sliced almonds. Thanks for posting this!
