Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Fresh beets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
Wash the beets thoroughly and trim the tops and bottoms. If the beets are large, cut them into smaller, uniform-sized pieces for even roasting.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
In a large bowl, combine beets, olive oil, minced garlic, and black pepper. Toss until the beets are well coated.
Lay the beets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are spaced out evenly.
Sprinkle fresh thyme over the beets.
Roast in the preheated oven for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the beets are tender when pierced with a fork.
Remove the beets from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
Transfer the roasted beets to a serving dish, drizzle with lemon juice, and gently toss to combine.
Serve warm as a delicious low-sodium side dish or salad topping.
