– 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions
Creating herb roasted beets is simple if you follow these easy steps:
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Beets: Wash and scrub the beets thoroughly to remove any dirt. Trim the tops and roots but leave the skin on for roasting.
3. Wrap in Foil: Wrap each beet individually in aluminum foil. This will help them steam and roast evenly.
4. Roast the Beets: Place the wrapped beets on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
5. Cool and Peel: Once cooked, remove the beets from the oven and let them cool slightly. Peel the skins off using your hands or a paper towel.
6. Slice the Beets: Cut the peeled beets into wedges or slices, depending on your preference.
7. Prepare the Herb Mixture: In a bowl, combine olive oil, salt, black pepper, rosemary, thyme, and minced garlic.
8. Toss the Beets: Drizzle the herb mixture over the warm beet slices and toss gently to coat evenly.
9. Optional Balsamic Glaze: If desired, drizzle the balsamic vinegar over the beets for an added layer of flavor.
10. Serve Warm: Transfer the herb roasted beets to a serving platter and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
