Method
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Rinse beets and then wrap each beet completely up into foil. Place on a baking sheet and bake for anywhere from 45-90 minutes, depending on size of the beet. Remove from oven when thoroughly cooked. Beets are ready when you can easily pierce with a fork. Allow beets to cool and carefully transfer to a cutting board. Slice the root end and top of the beet. Using a kitchen towel, or paper towel, rub the skin from the beet. It should easily come off. Discard. Slice each beet into ¼ inch medallions. Then toss in a bowl with 1 tbsp of olive oil, capers, salt and pepper.
Plate and drizzle with tahini or leave out in a separately bowl and allow guests to drizzle over their dish, individually.
