- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- 1 teaspoon rosemary
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Wash and peel the beets and carrots. Cut the beets and carrots into bite-sized pieces, ensuring they are roughly the same size for even cooking.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, thyme, rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a dressing.
Step 4
Add the chopped beets and carrots to the bowl and toss until all the pieces are evenly coated with the dressing.
Step 5
Spread the coated vegetables in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 6
Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
Step 7
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Optionally, drizzle with extra balsamic glaze for added flavor.
Step 8
Serve warm as a side dish or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
