Place the beet chunks in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
Sprinkle the chopped rosemary, salt, and pepper over the beets. Toss to coat the beets evenly with the seasoning.
Spread the seasoned beets in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Roast in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the beets are tender and caramelized, stirring halfway through the cooking time.
Remove the beets from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature as a side dish or add to salads.
