Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized beetroots
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 3 cloves garlic
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Wash the beetroots thoroughly to remove any dirt. If desired, you can peel the beetroots, although this is not necessary as the skin becomes quite tender when roasted.
Step 3
Cut the beetroots into uniform wedges or cubes, about 1-inch thick. Try to keep the pieces similar in size for even cooking.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme. Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the mixture.
Step 5
Add the beetroot pieces to the bowl and toss well, ensuring each piece is evenly coated with the oil and seasoning.
Step 6
Spread the seasoned beetroot pieces onto a large baking sheet in a single layer, making sure they are not too crowded. This helps them roast effectively without steaming.
Step 7
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 40 to 45 minutes or until the beetroots are fork-tender and have slightly crispy edges. Stir halfway through cooking to ensure even roasting.
Step 8
Once done, remove the beetroots from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Step 9
Serve warm as a delicious side dish or as part of a salad, adding a sprinkle of extra fresh thyme if desired.
