Balsamic Roasted Beetroot With Garlic And Thyme Recipe

Ingredients
  • 25 oz raw beetroot, peeled
  • 4 Tbs Olive oil
  • 2 Tbs Balsamic Vinegar
  • 2 Tbs Lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp black peppercorns, coarsely crushed
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 4 oz butter, cubed

Directions
  1. Cut the beets in half, or quarters if they're large. Spread the pieces out in a single layer over the base of the roasting tin and tuck in the sprigs of thyme.
  2. Put the oil, vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper into a small bowl and mix well.
  3. Pour the mixture over the beets and stir to coat each one.
  4. Sprinkle the cubed butter over the beets and cover the roasting tin.
  5. Place the beets in a 425 degree oven and roast for about 45 minutes. Use a small, sharp knife to check if they're done. It needs to be tender, but slightly firm in the center.
  6. Place the beets on a serving plate and drizzle some of the remaining dressing from the roasting tin around it. Add some more sprigs of thyme and serve immediately.

I personally adore beets, and this is the single best beet dish I have ever had. It's amazing.


I love beets too and can't wait to make this to add to my beet recipe file. Bookmarked. Thanks for the post.


I just do not like seeing people get a Rating of a *3* and that isn't nice...this is such a good recipe. It deserves a ^5!


Thanks, I think people just didn't notice that the first words are "This is not my recipe." Someone found the same recipe on a different site, and for some reason thought I stole it. I just added it because it was such a wonderful recipe, and it went with the menu I attached it to. I'm glad you like it, it really is a wonderful recipe! =)
