Set the oven to 220ºC (425ºF/ gas mark 7).

Cut the beetroot in half, or into quarters if they are large. Spread the pieces out in a single layer over the base of the roasting tin and tuck in the sprigs of thyme.

Pour the mixture over the beetroot and stir to coat each one.

Sprinkle the cubed butter over the beetroot and cover the roasting tin with foil.

Roast in the oven

Place the beetroot in the preheated oven and roast for about 45 minutes. After this time, use a small sharp knife to check if the beetroot is ready. It needs to be tender but still slightly firm in the centre.

Serve

Place the beetroot onto a serving plate and drizzle some of the remaining dressing from the roasting tin around it. Add some more sprigs of thyme to garnish and serve immediately.
