2 cloves Garlic
1 tablespoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).

Sprinkle fresh thyme over the beets.

Step 7

Roast in the preheated oven for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the beets are tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 8

Remove the beets from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.

Step 9

Transfer the roasted beets to a serving dish, drizzle with lemon juice, and gently toss to combine.

Step 10

Serve warm as a delicious low-sodium side dish or salad topping.
