Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized fresh beetroot
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Begin by thoroughly washing the beetroot to remove any dirt. Peel each beetroot using a vegetable peeler and trim off both the top and root ends.
Cut the beetroot into evenly sized wedges to ensure consistent cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the beetroot wedges with olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper. Toss until the beetroot is evenly coated.
Spread the beetroot wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Sprinkle the fresh thyme over the beetroot, distributing it evenly.
Roast the beetroot in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes. Use a fork to check for tenderness; the beetroot should be easily pierced.
Once cooked, remove the beetroot from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish or add to a salad for extra earthy flavor.
