5 Stars 4 Stars 3 Stars 2 Stars 1 Star No reviews

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium to small beets
  • 3–4 medium sweet potatoes
  • 5 red potatoes or other root vegetable
  • 1 onion (any kind will do)
  • 1 tbsp butter (optional)
  • extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 cloves of garlic
  • 2 tsp thyme (fresh or dry)
  • shredded parmesan cheese
  • salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. Peel, slice, and boil the beets. Be sure to do this separately from the potatoes to keep the potatoes from turning red. Do not overcook, or your beets will get too soft. (And keep in mind that you will be baking them, so they don’t need to boil too long.)
  2. Peel, slice, and boil the potatoes (both varieties) until they just start to get tender. Do not overcook, or you’ll end up with mashed potatoes! (Again, keep in mind that you’ll be baking these too.)
  3. While your beets and potatoes are boiling, chop the onion. Saute it in 1 tbsp butter and drizzle with olive oil as needed.
  4. Mince garlic and finely chop thyme (if using fresh) and add to the onion. Continue to saute until tender.
  5. Drain and rinse beets. Drain and rinse potatoes (still separately from beets). Return to their separate pots.
  6. Add the onion mixture to the potatoes. Mix gently.
  7. Add the beets and gently toss once or twice.
  8. Place in greased/oiled baking dish.
  9. Top with grated Parmesan cheese.
  10. Bake in oven till edges golden brown at 375 degrees. Baking time will vary depending on how long you boiled the veggies. Check them for tenderness after about 20 to 30 minutes. Continue checking until tender.
  11. Season to taste with salt and pepper before serving.
