Roasted Beets Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Beets

   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash the beets thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt. Trim off the leafy tops and root tails, but do not peel them.

2. 2

   Season the Beets

   In a large bowl, toss the cleaned beets with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until they are evenly coated.

3. 3

   Wrap and Roast

   Wrap each beet individually in aluminum foil. Place the wrapped beets on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for about 45-60 minutes, or until a fork easily pierces through the largest beet.

4. 4

   Cool and Peel

   Remove the beets from the oven and let them cool for about 15 minutes. Once cool enough to handle, unwrap the foil and peel the skins off the beets by rubbing them with your hands or using a paper towel.

5. 5

   Slice and Serve

   Slice the roasted beets into wedges and place them on a serving platter. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar and sprinkle with fresh thyme. If desired, top with crumbled feta cheese and chopped walnuts for added flavor and texture.
