Easy Oven Roasted Beets by Allen Neighborhood Center

Ingredients

Veggie Box beets (1 pound) 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil 1 teaspoon Veggie Box thyme leaves, minced 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1 teaspoon orange zest

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Peel each beet. Cut the beets into 1 1/2-inch chunks. (Small beets can be halved, medium ones cut in quarters and large beets cut into eighths.) Place the cut beets on foil-lined baking sheet and toss with olive oil, thyme, salt and pepper. Roast for 35 to 40 minutes, turning once or twice with a spatula, until the beets are tender. Remove from the oven and immediately toss with orange zest. Season with salt and pepper as needed. Serve warm.
