Description

Experience the natural sweetness of roasted golden beets. Serve warm as a side or cold in a salad.

Ingredients

cooking spray
1 pound golden beets
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon dried sage
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest

Directions

1 Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a sheet pan with foil and spray with cooking spray.
2 Peel beets, and cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks. Combine olive oil, sage, thyme, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add beets, and mix until well coated.
3 Spread beets out in a single layer on the prepared sheet pan and roast, flipping half way through, until the beets are tender and starting to turn golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes.
4 Remove from the oven, put beets back into the bowl, and toss with lemon zest.
