Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium beets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash the beets thoroughly, trimming off the greens and roots. Peel the beets and cut them into bite-sized wedges.
Place the beet wedges in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
In a small bowl, mix together the ground cumin, ground coriander, ground cinnamon, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Sprinkle the spice mixture over the beets and toss again to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Spread the seasoned beets in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Roast the beets in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are tender and slightly caramelized around the edges.
Remove the beets from the oven and let them cool for 5-10 minutes.
Transfer the roasted beets to a serving dish. Drizzle with lemon juice and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature as a flavorful side dish or toss into a salad for a hearty addition.
