ROASTED GOLDEN BEETS (JUST SIX INGREDIENTS)

Steps:

• 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 1/2 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!
