Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized beetroot
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Wash the beetroots thoroughly to remove any dirt. If necessary, use a scrub brush.
Step 3
Peel the beetroots with a vegetable peeler or leave the skins on if you prefer (they will loosen during roasting and can be peeled off afterward).
Step 4
Cut the beetroots into evenly-sized wedges or 1-inch cubes for uniform cooking.
Step 5
Place the beetroot pieces onto a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
Step 6
Drizzle olive oil over the beets and toss to coat evenly.
Step 7
Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme if desired.
Step 8
Spread the beetroot pieces out on the baking sheet in a single layer to allow even roasting.
Step 9
Roast in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, flipping the pieces halfway through, until the beets are tender and caramelized around the edges.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
