- 2 medium carrots, peeled and roughly chopped
- 2 stalks celery, roughly chopped
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary

Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread the cubed beets on a rimmed baking sheet, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, and toss to coat. Roast for 25–30 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the edges are caramelized and a fork slides in with little resistance.

While the beets roast, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large pot over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onion, carrots, and celery and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and the onion is translucent, about 7–8 minutes.
