Roasted Beets
Roasted beets are tender and caramelized on the inside and perfectly browned on the outside. It's the best way to unlock the earthy sweetness of this humble root vegetable!
Servings: 3
Ingredients
- 3 medium-sized beets (about 1.5 lbs.)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon dried rosemary (or thyme)
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Peel beets (see note) and cut into ½ inch cubes. Try to cut them as evenly as possible so they roast evenly.3 medium-sized beets
- In a medium sized bowl, toss the cubed beets with the oil, salt, pepper, rosemary and garlic powder until well-coated.1 tablespoon olive oil, ½ teaspoon kosher salt, ¼ teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper, ¼ teaspoon dried rosemary, ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- Arrange beets in a single layer in a rimmed sheet pan (14 x 10 inch). Bake for 15 minutes, remove from oven, stir, and bake for another 15 minutes or until beets are tender and golden brown.
Notes
- Shortcut: The beets don't necessarily have to be peeled. If you prefer, simply scrub the beets very well before cutting them. You won't be able to notice the peeling once the beets are roasted.
- Seasoning: Feel free to adjust seasoning amounts to your preference or use different seasonings.
- Storage: Store covered in fridge for up to a week or freeze for up to 4 months.
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Arrange beets on a sheet of aluminum foil. Sprinkle a couple tablespoons of water over the beets. Wrap securely and place onto a baking sheet (just in case they leak!). Cook for 60 minutes (for large beets) or until easily pierced with a fork. Cooking time will vary depending on the size of the beets.
- Cool slightly until you can handle them before using a paper towel to rub off peel. To avoid staining your hands, wear clean kitchen gloves.
