Roasted Beets with Thyme




Source of Recipe


Internet


List of Ingredients




2½–3 Lb. assorted baby beets or small beets
6 cloves garlic, peeled
2 sprigs fresh thyme
5 tbsp. olive oil
½ tsp. kosher salt
¼ tsp. freshly ground black pepper
2 tbsp. lemon juice
1 tbsp. snipped fresh thyme
Kosher salt and ground black pepper



Recipe



Cut tops off the beets and trim the root ends. Wash beets thoroughly. If using small beets, cut into 1- to 1½-inch wedges. Place beets in a 2-quart square baking dish. Add garlic, thyme sprigs, 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Toss to coat. Cover tightly with foil.

Roast beets in a 400° oven for 40 to 45 minutes or until tender. (A knife should easily slide into beets.) Uncover and let beets cool about 15 minutes on a wire rack. If using small beets, remove skins by wrapping the wedges, 1 at a time, in a paper towel and gently rubbing the skins off. Replace paper towel as needed. (Baby beets do not need to be peeled.) Place beets in a large bowl.

Meanwhile, remove garlic cloves from baking dish. Finely chop with a knife or crush with a mortar and pestle. In a small bowl whisk together remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil, the lemon juice, 1 tablespoon snipped thyme, and garlic. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Drizzle over beets; toss lightly to coat. Makes 4 to 6 servings.
