Equipment
Ingredients
- 3 lbs. beets one bag of beets in a variety, about 12 beets
- 3 Tbsp. good olive oil
- 1 Tbsp. fresh thyme minced, optional
- Kosher or large grain sea salt
- Freshly ground pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F. Scrub beets and cut off top and bottom. Cut into small chunks; the small ones can be cut in quarters, and the larger ones can be in sixths.
- Place on a rimmed baking sheet and sprinkle with olive oil, salt, and pepper to taste. Toss well to coat evenly. Roast for 35-45 min. turning once or twice. I like to wait until they are starting to brown before turning, probably at 20 min. mark or longer.
- Remove from oven and season further with salt and pepper if you like and add the thyme. Serve hot.
