Preheat oven to 425 F.

Wash each beet and trim leaves if necessary. If too large, cut in half. Wrap each piece in foil and place on a baking sheet. Bake in the oven till tender, about 45-50 minutes for a medium beet. When done, a fork should go in pretty smooth. (it won’t be quite as easy to put a fork in as a done baked potato is)

Remove from oven and remove foil. Let cool till they can be handled.

While beets are cooling, in a medium bowl combine the, oil, honey, vinegar, thyme, pepper and salt. Set aside.

Once beets are cooled, with a paper towel, rub off the skin. Skins should peel off easily. Cut into bite size pieces and place in sauce mixture. Stir to combine.

Place back in oven for 5-10 minutes to help beets soak up some of the delicious sauce.

Serve warm and enjoy.
