Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized fresh beetroot
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Trim the stems and roots from the beetroot and peel them using a vegetable peeler. Be careful as beetroot can stain hands and surfaces.
Cut each beetroot into wedges, approximately 1-inch pieces.
In a large bowl, combine the beetroot wedges, olive oil, salt, pepper, and thyme. Toss together until the beetroot is evenly coated.
Arrange the beetroot in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
Roast in the preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes, or until the beetroots are fork-tender and slightly caramelized at the edges. Stir them halfway through the cooking time to ensure even roasting.
Remove the beetroot from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish or cool completely and add to salads for a flavorful boost.
