Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

- Place the cut beets on a baking sheet and toss with the olive oil, thyme leaves, salt, and pepper. Roast for 35 to 40 minutes, turning once or twice with a spatula, until the beets are tender. Remove from the oven and immediately toss with the vinegar and orange juice. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and serve warm.

Steps:
- *Note: I used small spring beets which means they were not peeled. I also did not cut the beets into chunks but in half due to their size.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a roasting pan with parchment paper.
- Combine the beets, oil, salt, anise seeds, cinnamon stick pieces, orange juice and pomegranate molasses in the pan, tossing to coat the beets evenly.
- Spread the beets in a single layer and roast for about 45 minutes, shaking the pan a few times to roast the beets evenly and roasting the beets until they are fork-tender.
- Discard the cinnamon stick pieces.
- Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with orange zest (and minced fresh herb of choice if using).
- Serve warm.

Tips:
- Choose small to medium-sized beets for roasting. This will ensure that they cook evenly and quickly.
- Beets can be roasted with their skins on or peeled. If you choose to peel them, use a vegetable peeler to remove the skin.
- Tossing the beets in olive oil before roasting helps them to brown and caramelize.
- Roast the beets at a high temperature, 425 degrees Fahrenheit, to caramelize the natural sugars in the beets and give them a slightly crispy exterior.
- The roasting time will vary depending on the size of the beets. Small to medium-sized beets will take about 30-45 minutes to roast, while larger beets may take up to an hour.
- To test if the beets are done roasting, insert a fork or toothpick into the center of a beet. If it slides in easily, the beet is done.
- Once the beets are roasted, let them cool slightly before handling them.
- Roasted beets can be eaten immediately or stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
