How to Make Beetroot With Tarragon Butter

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash and trim 1 pound of beetroots, leaving about 2 inches of stem attached.
  3. Cut the beetroots into roughly 1-inch cubes (smaller beets can be halved or quartered).
  4. Toss the beetroot cubes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet.
  5. Roast for 45-60 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized, flipping halfway through.
  6. While the beets roast, prepare the tarragon butter: In a small bowl, combine 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) of unsalted butter, 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh tarragon (or dill/mint), a pinch of salt, and a pinch of black pepper.
  7. Once the beets are cooked, transfer them to a serving bowl.
  8. Add the tarragon butter to the beets and gently toss to coat.
  9. Serve warm as a side dish or incorporate into your favorite salad.
