Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 2 pounds beets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon fresh thyme

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Wash the beets really well, removing any soil residue (do not cut the beets, leave the tails and stems in tact)
  • Wrap each beet loosely in aluminum foil and place on a baking sheet.
  • Roast beets for 40 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and allow beets to cool for 20 minutes.
  • Working with one beet at a time, remove the aluminum foil, and while holding the beet under running water, gently rub the skin with your hands/fingers to remove the skins.
  • Once all of the skin has been removed, trim the tails and stems, and cut the beets into large bite-sized pieces and transfer to a bowl.
  • Add the olive oil, salt, pepper, and thyme. Toss to coat.
  • Transfer the beets back to the baking sheet and place in the oven. Roast at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Serve immediately.
