Ingredients

  • 2 bunches of beets
  • olive oil
  • ¼ cup (120ml) balsamic vinegar
  • 1 garlic bulb
  • ½ bunch of fresh thyme

Method

Preheat the oven to 350°F/100°C.  

Wash and trim the beets.  Cut them into quarters and cook in a large pot of boiling salted water for 25-30 minutes.  Drain and once cooled, remove the skins. Break apart the garlic bulb into individual cloves and crush them.

In a large bowl, combine the olive oil and balsamic vinegar.  Add the beets and crushed garlic cloves and toss well.  Place onto a baking pan and season with salt and pepper.  Brush the thyme with olive oil and sprinkle them over the beets, reserving 3-4 sprigs.

Roast for 50 minutes to an hour. Add the remaining sprigs during the last few minutes so they will retain their vibrancy according to Jamie.
