Oven roasted beets with Rosemary and Thyme. See the pinkish tinge that white beets have picked up from the red? I love Beets. I love them raw, pickled, boiled but I especially love them oven roasted! I first used this recipe last year when I was getting huge, beautiful beets from the farmers market.
I had some white and red beets in my fridge so I thought I would roast them up together. Not sure if the white ones taste any different or not but they certainly did look pretty altogether.
This recipe is from Jenn The Leftover Queen. She made hers into a salad using the tops and all. By the time I got around to roasting these the tops were happily in my composter doing it's thing in there!
Oven Roasted Beets (The Leftover Queen)
INGREDIENTS:
8 fresh beets
2 TBS olive oil
1 tsp dried rosemary
1 tsp dried thyme
salt & pepper to taste
METHOD:
Preheat oven to 425 F. Wash and trim beets, leaving their skins on. Wash and reserve beet greens.
Line a cookie sheet with tin foil. Place beets on cookie sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with rosemary, thyme, salt & pepper. Shake cookie sheet so that beets get coated with oil and spices. Place in the preheated oven and roast for 45 minutes or until beets are fork tender.
Take beets out of the oven and peel skins off. Note: If you care about your nails, which some people do, wear gloves, or you will have red dye under your nails for days afterwards. Do not run under water as it will wash away a lot of flavor. Cut into quarters. Drizzle with good extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar, salt & pepper. Toss and set aside.
As Alway...
Happy Entertaining!!!

Oh!!! Roasted beets are a favorite of mine. I have a bunch in the fridge that I need to get into the oven - right after today's grocery shopping. Love the two different colored beets in your recipe.
I love beets too...but I've never had them roasted! I will have to look for some at the market and try this...looks beautiful!!
Oven roasted beets are the best! And so good or you, too. They look so pretty!
This looks amazing! I am a total fan of beets.. cooked all ways!
I really need to try beets - I haven't had them since childhood, when I think my mom may have served them once. Salad, roasted, both sound good!
Ha ha, I saw this in my inbox and rushed over because I LOVE beets, and you used my recipe! Thanks so much! I am so glad you enjoyed them. Composting is a great way to use the greens!

Love roasted beets, and this makes alovely presentation.
I love thyme with beets, and often add a bit of orange juice to the pan when I roast them.
I love beets canned, fresh grated on salads, from the farmers market in the summer and fall here in CA ,
Roasted - what a nice Valentine's combo.
