The Best Way to Eat Beetroots – Easy and Delicious Oven-Roasted Recipe!
Beetroots are not only packed with nutrients but also taste amazing when roasted! This simple method enhances their natural sweetness, giving them a rich, earthy flavor with a hint of caramelization. Plus, it’s super easy to prepare!
Ingredients:
4 medium-sized beets
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar (optional, for extra flavor)
1 teaspoon dried thyme or rosemary (optional)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Beets
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Wash and scrub the beets thoroughly. You can peel them before roasting or leave the skin on (it comes off easily after baking).
2. Cut and Season
Cut the beets into wedges or cubes for faster cooking. If you prefer, you can roast them whole, but they will take longer.
Place them on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil.
Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and herbs of choice. Toss well to coat evenly.
3. Roast Until Tender
Spread the beets in a single layer and cover with foil (optional for steaming effect).
Roast for 30-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are fork-tender. If roasting whole, they may take 50-60 minutes.
4. Add Extra Flavor (Optional)
Once done, drizzle with a little balsamic vinegar for a sweet, tangy twist.
Serving Ideas:
Enjoy them as a side dish with grilled meats or fish. Toss them into salads with feta cheese and walnuts. Blend into a creamy beet hummus. Serve with Greek yogurt for a delicious contrast.
