Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium beetroots
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and scrub the beetroot thoroughly to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean towel.
Trim the leafy tops and root ends from each beetroot.
Cut the beetroots into equal-sized wedges for even roasting.
Place the beetroot wedges in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
Sprinkle the beetroot with sea salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme leaves, then toss again to distribute the seasonings.
Spread the seasoned beetroot wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Roast the beetroot in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until they are tender and caramelized, flipping halfway through cooking.
Remove the beetroot from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish or incorporate into salads for a flavorful Paleo-approved addition.
