Wash the beets and put them in a bag. It is better to take a medium-sized root vegetable so that the cooking process takes even less time. Put the vegetables together and pour a little clean water over them. Tie the bag and make a few small punctures in it to allow air to escape.

After that, the vegetables should be sent to the microwave for 10-15 minutes. If the beets are large, set a longer time. When the microwave is done cooking the vegetables, take them out and check for doneness.

To cook potatoes or carrots in this way, turn on the microwave for about 7 minutes. This way you will get juicy and flavorful vegetables that will enrich the taste of your dish.
