These Roasted Beets are earthy, naturally sweet, and perfectly tender with caramelized edges. An easy, healthy side dish that adds vibrant color and bold flavor to any meal!

Ingredients

  • 4 medium fresh beets (red, golden, or a mix)
  • 1–2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • Optional: Fresh herbs (thyme, rosemary, or parsley)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Scrub beets thoroughly and trim off the tops and roots.
  3. Wrap each beet individually in foil and place them on a baking sheet.
  4. Roast for 45–60 minutes, or until a knife pierces through easily.
  5. Let beets cool slightly, then rub off the skins using paper towels or gloves.
  6. Slice or cube the peeled beets.
  7. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  8. Optionally drizzle with balsamic vinegar and sprinkle with fresh herbs before serving.

Notes

  • Roast red and golden beets separately to preserve color.
  • For more caramelization, peel and cut beets into wedges before roasting.
  • Toss with orange zest or juice for a bright flavor twist.
  • Delicious served warm, chilled, or as part of salads and grain bowls.
