Ingredients
- 4 medium Beets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.75 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Step 2
Wash and peel the beets. Cut them into even wedges, approximately 1 inch thick, for uniform cooking.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme leaves. Whisk to blend.
Step 4
Add the beet wedges to the bowl and toss thoroughly to coat each piece with the seasoning mixture.
Step 5
Spread the beet wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded to promote even roasting.
Step 6
Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through to ensure even browning. The beets are done when they are fork-tender and slightly caramelized on the outside.
Step 7
Remove the roasted beet wedges from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. These can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.
Step 8
Optionally, garnish with additional fresh thyme before serving for a finishing touch.
