Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized beetroots
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Rinse the beetroots under cold water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
Peel the beetroots using a vegetable peeler and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, and black pepper.
Add the beetroot slices to the bowl and toss them well in the oil mixture, ensuring each slice is well coated.
Place the beet slices on the grill, ensuring they are in a single layer, and cover the grill.
Grill the beetroots for 15-20 minutes on each side, or until they are fork-tender and have grill marks.
Once grilled, remove the beetroot slices from the grill and place them on a serving platter.
Drizzle the fresh lemon juice over the grilled beetroot slices.
Serve warm, garnished with additional rosemary if desired.
