Beets Preparation

Method

Beets Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beets

    Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C). While the smoker is heating, wash the fresh beets under cold running water to remove any dirt. Trim the tops and tails off the beets, ensuring to leave the skin intact.

  2. 2

    Season the Beets

    In a large bowl, drizzle the washed beets with olive oil. Sprinkle salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme over them. Toss the beets gently until they are evenly coated in the oil and seasonings.

  3. 3

    Smoke the Beets

    Place the seasoned beets on the smoker rack. Close the lid and smoke the beets for about 2 hours or until they are tender when pierced with a fork. Make sure to check the beets every 30 minutes to maintain the smoke level.

  4. 4

    Cool and Serve

    Once the beets are tender, remove them from the smoker and let them cool for 10-15 minutes. Once cooled, peel off the skins (they should come off easily) and slice the beets. Serve them warm or at room temperature as a side dish or salad component.
