Cooking time

50 minute

Ingredient

1,5 pounds

beets

1 tbsp

extra-virgin olive oil

1/4 tsp

fine salt (to taste)

How to do

Preheat the oven to 375oF/191oC with a large, rimmed baking tray lined with parchment paper. Use a vegetable brush to scrub the beets and rinse them under running water.

Tip in this step

No need to peel the beets. Beets with the skin on can be edible after roasting.

Trim the base and the skinny pointy ends of the beets as well. Then, halve the beets and cut them into bite-sized wedges, about 1/2-inch thick. Add the beet pieces to the prepared baking tray and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt. Toss the beets until coated with salt and oil.

Arrange the beet wedges in a single layer on the baking tray. Roast them for at least 35 minutes, stirring halfway. Once the beets can be pierced through a fork with light pressure, remove them from the oven.

Sprinkle with chopped herbs and a pinch of salt as desired. Serve.
