Ingredients
- 4 medium beetroots
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Wash the beetroots thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
Step 3
Using a sharp knife, trim the ends of each beetroot and peel them using a vegetable peeler.
Step 4
Chop the peeled beetroots into bite-sized cubes, roughly 1-inch in size, for even cooking.
Step 5
Place the beetroot cubes in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, then sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme.
Step 6
Toss the beetroot cubes gently until they are evenly coated with the oil, vinegar, and seasonings.
Step 7
Transfer the seasoned beetroot cubes onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spreading them out into a single layer to ensure even roasting.
Step 8
Roast the beetroots in the preheated oven for about 40 to 45 minutes, or until they are fork-tender and slightly caramelized around the edges. Stir them halfway through the cooking time for even roasting.
Step 9
Once done, remove the roasted beetroots from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
Step 10
Serve the roasted beetroot warm as a side dish, garnishing with additional fresh thyme if desired.
