Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and peel the beetroots. Cut them into 1-inch cubes to ensure even roasting.
Place the beetroot cubes into a large mixing bowl.
Add the olive oil, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Toss the beetroot cubes until they are well coated with oil and seasonings.
If using fresh thyme, sprinkle it over the beetroots and toss again to distribute evenly.
Spread the beetroot cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Roast in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking, until the beetroots are tender and slightly caramelized at the edges.
If desired, drizzle the roasted beetroot with balsamic vinegar immediately after removing from the oven, and toss to coat.
Serve warm as a side dish or cool and use as a salad topping.
