Ingredients

4 servings

2 lbs medium beets (about 6), scrubbed and trimmed
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, divided
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
2 tbsp honey
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
¼ tsp ground cinnamon

For serving

1 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped (optional)

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Place the scrubbed, trimmed beets in the center of a large sheet of aluminum foil. Drizzle with 1 tbsp of the olive oil and season with the salt and pepper. Fold the foil up and crimp the edges to form a sealed packet, then set it on a rimmed baking sheet.
2
Roast the foil packet until the beets are completely tender when pierced through the center with a paring knife, 45–55 minutes depending on size. Open the packet carefully — steam will escape — and let the beets cool for 5 minutes.
