Roasted Beets
- Serves: 4
- Prep Time: 10 min
- Cook Time: 40 min
Ingredients
- 4 large (3”- inch wide) beets, 2 pounds total
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs such as thyme, basil, mint, tarragon or chives
- Freshly ground pepper to taste
Method
Preheat the oven to 400° F.
Trim the green tops and the long roots off of the beets. Rinse the beets under water, washing any dirt off of them. Using a vegetable peeler or a paring knife, peel the beets. Cut the beets into 1-inch wedges or 1-inch pieces.
In a large bowl, toss the beets together with the oil and salt. Spread the beets out onto a large rimmed baking sheet and roast them in the oven until tender, about 35- 40 minutes.
Drizzle the roasted beets with the vinegar, herbs and pepper, tossing to combine.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
