Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium beetroots
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and scrub the beetroots thoroughly to remove any dirt. Trim off the leaves and stems, leaving about 1 inch (2.5 cm) of the stems. This helps prevent the color from bleeding.
Peel the beetroots using a vegetable peeler, then cut them into 1-inch (2.5 cm) cubes.
In a large bowl, combine the beetroot cubes with olive oil, salt, black pepper, fresh thyme, and balsamic vinegar. Toss until the beetroot pieces are evenly coated.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the beetroot cubes out in a single layer.
Roast the beets in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until they are fork-tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through the cooking time.
Once cooked, remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the beetroots cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish or let them cool completely and add to salads or other dishes as desired.
