Method
Preparation
- 1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- 2
Prepare the Beets
Wash the beets thoroughly to remove any dirt. Trim the tops and tails, then wrap each beet in aluminum foil.
- 3
Roast the Beets
Place the wrapped beets on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for about 45-60 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.

Cool and Peel
Once cooked, remove the beets from the oven and let them cool slightly. Once they are cool enough to handle, unwrap and peel the skins off the beets—this can be done with your hands or using a paper towel.

Season and Serve
Cut the beets into wedges or slices, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme if using. Serve warm or at room temperature.
