Method

Preparation of Beets

  1. 1

    Wash and Trim

    Thoroughly wash the beets under cold water to remove any dirt. Trim off the greens and root tails.

  2. 2

    Cook the Beets

    Place the washed beets in a pot of boiling water. Boil for about 30-40 minutes until fork-tender. Drain and let cool.

  3. 3

    Peel the Beets

    Once cooled, use your hands or a paper towel to gently rub the skins off the beets. Cut them into wedges or slices.

Making the Marinade

  1. 4

    Mix Ingredients

    In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme. Whisk until well combined.

Marinating the Beets

  1. 5

    Combine Beets and Marinade

    Place the beet wedges in a large bowl or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the beets, ensuring they are well coated.

  2. 6

    Marinate

    Seal the bag or cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, to allow flavors to meld.
