Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium beets
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and scrub the beets thoroughly to remove any dirt, then pat them dry with a paper towel.
Trim the tops and bottoms of each beet and peel the skin using a vegetable peeler.
Cut the beets into 1-inch cubes to ensure even roasting and uniform cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the beet cubes with the olive oil, salt, and black pepper, tossing to coat evenly.
Spread the beets evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Roast in the preheated oven for 35-45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure even cooking.
The beets are done when they are tender and can be easily pierced with a fork.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving warm or at room temperature.
