Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized fresh beets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Thoroughly wash and scrub the beets to remove any dirt. Trim off the greens and root ends but leave the skins on.
Step 3
Cut the beets into equal-sized wedges, approximately 1-inch thick, to ensure even cooking.
Step 4
Place the beet wedges into a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper.
Step 5
Toss the beets in the bowl until they are evenly coated with the olive oil and seasoning.
Step 6
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup. Spread the seasoned beet wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overlapping.
Step 7
Roast in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until the beets are tender when pierced with a fork and have a caramelized edge.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
Step 9
Serve warm and enjoy your roasted beets as a delicious side dish or salad topping.
Step 10
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
