1
Prepare the Beets
Wash and scrub the beets under cold running water to remove any dirt. Trim off the greens and roots, but leave the skin on.
2
Prepare the Marinade
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme until well combined.
3
Marinate the Beets
Place the prepared beets in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the beets, ensuring they are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

4
Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 400°F (200°C).
5
Grill the Beets
Remove the beets from the marinade and shake off any excess liquid. Place the beets directly on the grill grates. Grill for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the beets are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
6
Cool and Peel
Once grilled, remove the beets from the grill and allow them to cool slightly. Using your hands or a paper towel, gently rub off the skin. The skin should come off easily.
7
Slice and Serve
Slice the grilled beets into rounds or wedges and serve warm or at room temperature. Drizzle with any remaining marinade if desired.
