Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium beetroots
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash the beetroots thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
Using a sharp knife, trim the ends of each beetroot and peel them using a vegetable peeler.
Chop the peeled beetroots into bite-sized cubes, roughly 1-inch in size, for even cooking.
Place the beetroot cubes in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, then sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme.
Toss the beetroot cubes gently until they are evenly coated with the oil, vinegar, and seasonings.
Transfer the seasoned beetroot cubes onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spreading them out into a single layer to ensure even roasting.
Roast the beetroots in the preheated oven for about 40 to 45 minutes, or until they are fork-tender and slightly caramelized around the edges. Stir them halfway through the cooking time for even roasting.
Once done, remove the roasted beetroots from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
Serve the roasted beetroot warm as a side dish, garnishing with additional fresh thyme if desired.
