How To Make Balsamic Roasted Beetroot With Garlic And Thyme
- Serves:
- 4
- Preparation Time:
- 10 minutes
- Cooking Time:
- 45 minutes
- Total Time:
- 55 minutes
- Oven Temperature:
- 220° c - 430° f
Step 1: You will need...
- 750 g raw beetroot, peeled
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 clove of garlic, finely chopped
- ½ tsp sea salt
- ½ tsp black peppercorns, coarsely crushed
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme
- 25 g butter, cubed
- 1 sharp knife
- 1 roasting tin
- 1 small bowl
- 1 cutting board
- 1 spoon
- tinfoil
- 1 small vegetable knife
Step 2: Prepare the oven
Set the oven to 220ºC (425ºF/ gas mark 7).
Step 3: Prepare the beetroot
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.
Step 4: Prepare the dressing
Put the oil, vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, salt and pepper into a small bowl and mix well.
Step 5: Dress the beetroot
Pour the mixture over the beetroot and stir to coat each one.
Step 6: Finish the beetroot
Sprinkle the cubed butter over the beetroot and cover the roasting tin with foil.
Step 7: 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.
Step 8: 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.
Tips & Comments
I would trust more on what he said instead of what the video showed as they reuse many video shots from other videos.
Looks tempting! Watch out though as the recipe says 220 degrees and in the video they set the oven to 200 degrees...
