Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized beets
- 6 cloves garlic
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and scrub the beets thoroughly to remove dirt. Do not peel them as the skin helps retain moisture during roasting.
Cut the beets into quarters or eighths depending on their size to ensure even cooking.
Peel the garlic cloves and leave them whole.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the beet pieces and garlic cloves. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Toss everything until the beets and garlic are evenly coated.
Spread the beets and garlic out onto a baking sheet in a single layer. Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easier cleanup if desired.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 50 to 55 minutes. Stir the beets halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Remove the beets from the oven when they are fork-tender and lightly caramelized. Let them cool slightly for 5 minutes.
If desired, garnish with fresh parsley before serving for added color and flavor. Serve warm as a side dish or salad topping.
