Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 units medium-sized beets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and scrub the beets thoroughly to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
Trim the tops and roots off the beets. Peel the beets with a vegetable peeler and cut them into uniform wedges, approximately 1-inch thick.
In a large bowl, toss the beet wedges with olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme, ensuring that they are well coated.
Spread the beets in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Roast in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the beets are fork-tender and slightly caramelized at the edges. Stir them halfway through the cooking time for even roasting.
Once done, remove the beets from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish or refrigerate for a salad topping. Enjoy your Paleo Simple Roasted Beets!
