Best way to roast beets?

I don't consider myself a picky eater at all, but beets is one of the few things I have always avoided. They look so good to me, they smell so good to me, but I put them in my mouth and they always taste like dirt! until now....

We went to a wedding yesterday and the buffet included "mixed roasted vegetables". I loaded up my plate with what I noticed was zucchini, potatoes, carrots.... my BF (who also thinks beets taste like dirt :) pointed at his plate to ask if he had beets in his roasted veggies. yup, we both did... and we both LOVED THEM!

Sooooo... how do you select, prepare, and roast beets so that they won't taste like dirt? these were cut in large chunks and had been roasted enough to look and taste as if they had been lightly caramelized in sugar. BF did get one he said still tasted like dirt though, so what made the difference? :p

PS: I've always loved beet greens! lol!
