Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C).
Wash the beets thoroughly and pat them dry. Wrap each beet individually in aluminum foil to retain moisture during roasting.
Place the wrapped beets onto a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until tender (a knife should easily pierce through the center).
While the beets are roasting, peel and dice the potatoes into small chunks.
Place the potatoes in a medium pot, cover with water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then simmer for about 12-15 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Drain the potatoes and set them aside. Peel the garlic cloves and set them aside as well.
In a food processor or blender, combine the cooked potatoes, garlic cloves, lemon juice, extra-virgin olive oil, water, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and a pinch of freshly ground black pepper.
Blend the ingredients together until smooth and creamy. If the sauce is too thick, add a little more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
Once the beets are roasted, carefully remove them from the foil and let them cool slightly. Peel the skins off with your hands or a paper towel (they should slide off easily).
Slice the beets into wedges or rounds, depending on your preference.
Arrange the roasted beet slices on a serving platter. Drizzle them with the olive oil and sprinkle with salt and black pepper to taste.
Spoon the potato garlic sauce over the roasted beets or serve it on the side as a dip.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, for a bright and herby touch.
Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy this Mediterranean-inspired dish!
