Ingredients:

  • 1.5 lbs (approx. 680g) Beets (any color, uniform size), scrubbed clean
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) Olive Oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon (2.5ml) Kosher Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon (1.25ml) Black Pepper, freshly ground
  • Optional: 1 sprig Fresh Rosemary or Thyme

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place rack in the middle position.
  2. Trim the beet greens, leaving about 1 inch of stem attached. Scrub the beets thoroughly.
  3. In a bowl, toss the beets with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Make sure they're evenly coated.
  4. Wrap the beets in foil as a foil pack, place parchment paper down and arrange on sheet.
  5. Roast in the preheated oven for 45-60 minutes, or until a fork easily pierces the beets. Larger beets will take longer.
  6. Let the beets cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, rub off the skins with your fingers (wear gloves if you want to avoid staining your hands).
  7. Slice or cube the roasted beets as desired.
  8. Serve warm or at room temperature.
