Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Oven-Roasted Beets with Thyme.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 425°F (220°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper—this will make cleanup a breeze! In a spacious bowl, toss together the cubed beets with a drizzle of olive oil and, if you like, a sprinkle of dried thyme for an aromatic touch.
Step 2
Make sure every beet is well-coated; this is where the flavor begins! Next, spread the beets out in a single layer on your prepared baking sheet, giving them a little space to breathe.
Step 3
Don’t forget to add a pinch of sea salt to enhance their natural sweetness.
Step 4
Now, pop the baking sheet into your preheated oven and let the magic happen! Roast the beets for about 10 to 20 minutes, keeping an eye on them as they transform into tender bites of deliciousness.
Step 5
To check if they’re ready, simply insert a fork into the center of a beet cube; it should glide in effortlessly.
Step 6
Enjoy the delightful aroma filling your kitchen as you await this vibrant, healthy treat!.
