Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized, peeled and diced beets
- 5 medium-sized, peeled and cut into sticks carrots
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves, minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon, chopped fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon, or to taste salt
- 0.5 teaspoon, or to taste black pepper
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2
Peel the beets and carrots, then chop the beets into 1-inch cubes and the carrots into sticks of even thickness to ensure they cook evenly.
Step 3
Place the chopped beets and carrots in a large mixing bowl. Add the olive oil, minced garlic, fresh thyme, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated.
Step 4
Spread the vegetables out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Overcrowding can cause the vegetables to steam rather than roast.
Step 5
Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and lightly caramelized on the edges.
Step 6
Optional: Drizzle with balsamic vinegar during the last 5 minutes of roasting for added flavor.
Step 7
Remove the roasted beets and carrots from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed before serving.
Step 8
Serve warm alongside your favorite main dish or as part of a vegetarian meal.
