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.

Ingredients for Roasted Baby Beets

  • 30 baby beets (each 1 to 1 1/2 inches in diameter

  • about 5 bunches), unpeeled, all but 1 inch of tops trimmed, rinsed

  • 4 large fresh rosemary sprigs, plus additional sprigs for garnish

  • 1 1/2 tablespoons butter

  • 60ml olive oil

How to make Roasted Baby Beets

Preheat oven to 191°C. Place beets in roasting pan. Add 4 rosemary sprigs and enough water to barely cover beets. Cover pan tightly with foil. Roast beets until tender, about 50 minutes. Transfer beets to work surface. Peel while still warm; place on rimmed baking sheet. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; chill.)

Preheat oven to 177°C. Melt butter with oil in small saucepan. Pour over beets on sheet; toss to coat. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake until heated through, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes. Transfer to bowl. Garnish with additional rosemary sprigs and serve.
