Method
- Preheat the oven to 180°C.
- Using a sharp knife, slice the beetroots in half then cut slits into the back of each beetroot half, about 2mm apart and stopping just shy of cutting all the way through (hasselback).
- Place the prepared beets on a roasting tray and drizzle them with 1 tbsp of the olive oil. Season with sea salt and place a sprig of thyme on each.
- Roast in the oven for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, combine the remaining tbsp of olive oil with the maple syrup in a small bowl.
- Remove the beetroots from the oven and drizzle with the oil and maple syrup mixture. Return to the oven and roast for another 30 minutes, or until cooked through. Serve hot or warm.
