Roasted Beets

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs. beets, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
• 2 Tbsp. olive oil
• ½ tsp. salt
• ¼ tsp ground black pepper
• 2 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
• 2 tsp. chopped fresh thyme

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 425 F.
2. Toss beets, oil, salt and pepper in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Cover with foil. Roast, lifting off the foil to stir once or twice, until the beets are tender when pierced with a fork, about 40 minutes.
3. Add balsamic vinegar and thyme and toss to coat. Return to the oven, and roast uncovered for 10 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
