Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium beetroots
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash the beetroots thoroughly to remove any dirt, then peel them using a vegetable peeler.
Slice the beetroots into 1/4 inch thick rounds, ensuring they are all uniform for even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the beetroot slices with olive oil, fresh thyme, sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Toss until all slices are evenly coated.
Spread the beetroot slices out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they don’t overlap.
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the beetroots are tender and lightly caramelized on the edges. Flip the slices halfway through cooking for even roasting.
Remove the beetroot slices from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Serve your paleo oven-baked beetroot warm as a side dish or cool as a salad topping.
