Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized fresh beets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Start by thoroughly washing the beets to remove any dirt. Use a vegetable brush if necessary.
Step 3
Trim off the beet greens and root ends.
Step 4
Peel the beets using a vegetable peeler.
Step 5
Cut the beets into 1-inch cubes to ensure even roasting.
Step 6
In a large mixing bowl, toss the cubed beets with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until they are well coated.
Step 7
Spread the beets in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 8
Sprinkle the fresh thyme leaves over the beets.
Step 9
Roast in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, or until the beets are tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Step 10
Check for doneness by inserting a fork or toothpick into a beet cube; it should slide in easily when done.
Step 11
Remove from the oven and let the beets cool for a few minutes before serving.
Step 12
Transfer the roasted beets to a serving dish and enjoy as a side for meats or salads.
