• 0.5 teaspoon salt, or to taste

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a sheet pan with foil and spray with cooking spray.

Peel beets, and cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks. Combine olive oil, sage, thyme, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add beets, and mix until well coated.

Step 3

Spread beets out in a single layer on the prepared sheet pan and roast, flipping half way through, until the beets are tender and starting to turn golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes.

Step 4

Remove from the oven, put beets back into the bowl, and toss with lemon zest.
