Categories     side-dish

Time 55m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

12 beets
3 tablespoons good olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves, minced
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons raspberry vinegar
Juice of 1 large orange

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Remove the tops and the roots of the beets and peel each one with a vegetable peeler. Cut the beets in 1 1/2-inch chunks. (Small beets can be halved, medium ones cut in quarters, and large beets cut in eighths.)
  • 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.

Tips for Roasting Beets:

  • Choose fresh, firm beets: Look for beets that are smooth, round, and have deep red color. Avoid beets that are bruised or have blemishes.
  • Trim the beets: Cut off the tops and bottoms of the beets, leaving about 1 inch of stem. Peel the beets with a vegetable peeler or a sharp knife.
  • Cut the beets into even-sized pieces: This will help them cook evenly. If the beets are large, cut them into quarters or eighths. Smaller beets can be roasted whole.
  • Toss the beets with oil, salt, and pepper: This will help them brown and caramelize in the oven. You can also add other spices or herbs, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or thyme.
  • Roast the beets in a preheated oven: The roasting time will vary depending on the size of the beets. Small beets will take about 30 minutes to roast, while larger beets may take up to an hour.
  • Test the beets for doneness: Insert a fork or knife into the beets. If it goes in easily, the beets are done. If the beets are still firm, continue roasting them for a few more minutes.
  • Let the beets cool: Once the beets are roasted, let them cool slightly before handling them. You can then slice, dice, or mash them as desired.

Conclusion:

Roasted beets are a versatile and delicious side dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. They can be served warm or cold, and they can be used in salads, soups, and even desserts. With their earthy flavor and vibrant color, roasted beets are a great addition to any meal.
