Ingredients
- 4 medium beets
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
- 3 whole garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Wash and scrub the beets thoroughly to remove any dirt. Trim the tops and roots, and peel the beets using a vegetable peeler.
Step 3
Cut the beets into 1-inch cubes, ensuring they are roughly uniform for even roasting.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, toss the beet cubes with olive oil, fresh thyme, fresh rosemary, whole garlic cloves (slightly smashed), kosher salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Step 5
Spread the seasoned beets and garlic cloves in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded to allow for proper caramelization.
Step 6
Roast in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, flipping the beets halfway through to promote even cooking, until they are tender and slightly caramelized on the edges.
Step 7
Remove the beets from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
Step 8
Serve warm as a side dish, or let cool completely and use as a topping for salads or grain bowls.
