Roasted Baby Beets

This classic recipe for roasted baby beets highlights the natural sweetness and earthy depth of one of the garden's finest treasures. By roasting the beets in a tightly sealed parcel with fresh rosemary, the vegetables steam in their own juices, resulting in a buttery texture and vibrant colour. It is a sophisticated way to serve beetroot that moves far beyond the pickled varieties found in jars, offering a delicate balance of herbal aroma and rich, savoury notes.

As a versatile vegetarian side dish, these beets are an excellent accompaniment to a traditional Sunday roast or served alongside a crumbly goat’s cheese salad. Because the initial roasting and peeling can be completed a day in advance, this recipe is a stress-free option for dinner parties or busy family gatherings. Simply finish them in the oven with a little olive oil and butter for a glossy, elegant finish.
