Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium beets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Trim and scrub the beets clean under running water. Leave the skin on for roasting.
Wrap each beet individually in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet.
Roast the beets in the preheated oven for 40–50 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
While the beets are roasting, mince the garlic cloves finely.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.
Once the beets are done roasting, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly until safe to handle.
Use a paper towel or your fingers to rub off the beet skins. They should peel off easily.
Cut the peeled beets into bite-sized wedges or cubes.
Add the cut beets to a serving bowl and drizzle the garlic olive oil mixture over them. Toss gently to coat.
Taste for seasoning and adjust with more salt or pepper, if needed.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm or at room temperature.
