Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized fresh beetroot
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and scrub the beetroot thoroughly to remove any dirt. Pat dry with a paper towel.
Trim the tops and roots of the beetroot, and peel the outer skin using a vegetable peeler.
Cut each beetroot into 1-inch wedges and place them in a mixing bowl.
Drizzle the beetroot wedges with extra-virgin olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
Sprinkle ground black pepper and garlic powder over the beetroot and mix well.
Add fresh thyme and give it one last good mix to distribute the herbs.
Transfer the seasoned beetroot wedges onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spreading them in a single layer.
Roast in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the beetroot is tender when pierced with a fork and slightly caramelized.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly.
Transfer the roasted beetroot to a serving dish and drizzle with lemon juice before serving. Optionally, garnish with additional fresh thyme.
