- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Wash the beets thoroughly to remove any dirt. Trim the tops and bottoms of the beets, and peel them using a vegetable peeler.
Step 3
Cut the beets into uniform wedges, approximately one inch thick, to ensure even cooking.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the beet wedges with the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss until the beets are well-coated with the oil and seasonings.
Step 5
Spread the beets in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easier cleanup.
Step 6
Sprinkle the fresh thyme over the beets.
Step 7
Roast the beets in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until they are tender and lightly caramelized. Stir the beets halfway through the cooking time to ensure even roasting.
Step 8
Remove the roasted beets from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
Step 9
Serve the roasted beets warm as a side dish with your favorite main course or enjoy them as a healthy snack.
