Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized beetroot
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel the beetroot and cut them into 1-inch cubes. Wear gloves to prevent staining your hands.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, ground cumin, ground coriander, smoked paprika, red chili flakes, salt, and black pepper.
Add the beetroot cubes to the bowl and toss them well, ensuring they are evenly coated with the spice mixture.
Line a baking tray with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Spread the spiced beetroot cubes in a single layer on the prepared baking tray.
Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, tossing halfway through, until the beetroot is tender and slightly caramelized.
Remove the tray from the oven and let the beetroot cool slightly for 5 minutes.
Transfer the roasted beetroot to a serving bowl.
Garnish with fresh parsley and drizzle with lemon juice before serving.
