This recipe was extracted from Modern cookery, in all its branches (1884) by Eliza Acton, page 308. The excerpt below is the record exactly as published.

BAKE BEET ROOT. Beet root if slowly and carefully baked until it is tender quite through, is very rich and sweet in flavour, although less bright in colour than when it is boiled : it is also, we believe, remarkably nutritious and wholesome. Wash and wipe it very dry, but neither cut nor break any part of it ; then lay it into a coarse earthen dish, and bake it in a gentle oven for four or five hours
