Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium beets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon caraway seeds
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and scrub the beets thoroughly to remove any dirt. If the greens are attached, trim them off, leaving about 1 inch of stem.
Peel the beets using a vegetable peeler or paring knife. Cut them into wedges or 1-inch cubes for even roasting.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the prepared beets, olive oil, caraway seeds, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat the beets evenly.
Spread the beets in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil.
Roast the beets in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking. The beets should be tender when pierced with a fork and slightly caramelized on the edges.
Remove the beets from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
Transfer the roasted beets to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
