Don’t you just love seasonal produce? I know I do!

I can’t help but get super excited when I see all the fresh, colourful root vegetables that are plentiful this time of year.

When I came across some beautiful golden beets the other day at my local market, I grabbed them right away.

Golden beets (also known as golden beetroots or yellow beets) are quite similar to their red counterpart but a little less earthy in taste (in my opinion).

You can treat golden beets like you would red beets, basically roast them up and devour.

Roasted veggies make a perfect addition to your Thanksgiving menu, Sunday supper or weeknight dinner.

Tips for Making This Recipe

Cut your beets into roughly equal-sized chunks so they roast evenly.
Roast time may vary, depending on exactly how large your chunks are. Just roast until tender or they’re done to how you like them.
Fresh herbs are used, but you can easily substitute with dried herbs (just use about one-third the amount of dried herbs for the fresh herbs as they are more potent).
These roasted golden beets are delicious as soon as they are cooked, but they’re also delicious cold on a salad.

Cook Time 30

Total Time 40

Course Side Dish

Servings 4 servings

Ingredients

2 pounds beets, cleaned, peeled, trimmed of greens and cut into chunks or wedges, about 1.5 inches each (equates to about 8 or 9 small beets, each cut into about 6 chunks)
2.5 tablespoons avocado oil, divided
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme leaves, or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 tablespoon minced fresh sage leaves, or 1 teaspoon dried sage

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425 degree Fahrenheit.
Place beet chunks into a bowl with 2 tablespoons of avocado oil, salt, pepper, thyme and sage, tossing to combine everything.
Note: As mentioned, I used about 8 or 9 small beets. If your beets are larger, you'll need less of them. All in all, you'll want about 2 pounds of beets.
Grease a large sheet pan with the remaining ½ tablespoon of avocado oil. Place beets onto the sheet pan and spread them out in a single layer.
Roast the beets for 15 minutes, then remove the sheet pan from the oven and turn the beets over. Place the sheet pan back in the oven and continue to roast the beets for another 15 to 20 minutes or until they're tender.
Transfer to a serving dish. Garnish, if desired, with more fresh thyme and sage. Serve and enjoy!
