1. 1

   Preheat oven to 400u00b0. Quarter beets lengthwise. Slice half lengthwise and half crosswise into wedges about 3/4 in. thick. Cut slab bacon into 1/2-in. cubes, or sliced bacon into 1 1/2-in. pieces.

2. 2

   In a shallow 3- to 3 1/2-qt. baking dish, toss beets, bacon, garlic, oil, and salt.

3. 3

   Bake, stirring every 15 minutes or so, until beets are tender when pierced and bacon begins to brown, 1 1/4 to 1 3/4 hours. Stir in chestnuts.
