These fresh beets are super sweet and delicious and with the addition of olive oil and fresh rosemary and thyme, they taste like summer! The garlic bulbs are roasted to perfection and are a perfect complement to the beets.
- Fresh springs rosemary
- Fresh thyme *dried will work too
- Olive Oil
- Garlic bulbs, 5-6 peeled
- Salt, Pepper
- 1 lb. fresh beets, rinsed and scrub skin off*
* I use a “go daddy” yellow sponge and it works great to scrub the thin beet skin until they look bright red:)O
Heat your oven to 375 degrees. Drizzle oil over a piece of aluminum foil. Place beets in a bowl and stir in olive oil, salt, and pepper. Add the garlic bulbs (5-6), or more, and combine with the beets. Sprinkle with just a tad more olive oil and cracked black pepper. Roll the aluminum foil up and over the beets, making a foil packet.
Roast the beets for 50 minutes or until tender.
