Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole medium beetroots
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and scrub the beetroots under cold running water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with paper towels.
Trim any remaining stems to about 1 inch and remove the roots.
Cut the beetroots into wedges, about eight pieces per beetroot, to ensure even roasting.
Place beetroot wedges in a large bowl and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil. Sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper.
Add the fresh thyme leaves to the bowl and toss everything together until the beetroot wedges are well-coated with the oil and seasoning.
Spread the seasoned beetroot wedges in a single layer on a large baking sheet, ensuring they have enough space to roast evenly.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the beetroot for 40-45 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized. Turn the beetroot wedges halfway through cooking for even roasting.
Once roasted, remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the beetroot cool for a few minutes.
Serve as a side dish, and enjoy the earthy and subtly sweet flavor of roasted beetroots.
