Ingredients
- 4 units medium-sized beets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Wash and scrub the beets thoroughly to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
Step 3
Trim the tops and roots off the beets. Peel the beets with a vegetable peeler and cut them into uniform wedges, approximately 1-inch thick.
Step 4
In a large bowl, toss the beet wedges with olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme, ensuring that they are well coated.
Step 5
Spread the beets in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 6
Roast in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the beets are fork-tender and slightly caramelized at the edges. Stir them halfway through the cooking time for even roasting.
Step 7
Once done, remove the beets from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Step 8
Serve warm as a side dish or refrigerate for a salad topping. Enjoy your Paleo Simple Roasted Beets!
