Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare Beets:
- Peel the beets and cut them into 1-inch cubes.

3. Add Garlic:
- Mince the garlic cloves finely.
- Add the minced garlic to the bowl with the beets.
4. Seasoning:
- Drizzle the olive oil over the beets and garlic.
- Add a dash of salt to taste.
- Toss everything together to ensure the beets are evenly coated with olive oil, garlic, and salt.
5. Roast:
- Spread the seasoned beet cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet. It's important for the beets to be in a single layer to roast evenly.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
6. Cooking Time:
- Roast the beets for about 35-45 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork. Stir the beets halfway through the roasting time to ensure they cook evenly.
7. Coriander Finishing:

- Transfer the roasted beets to a serving dish.
- Sprinkle with the chopped coriander leaves for a fresh and aromatic finish.
8. Serve:
- Serve the roasted Mediterranean beets warm as a delicious side dish. They pair wonderfully with a variety of main dishes, adding vibrant color and rich flavor to your meal.

Tips:

- For even cooking, try to cut the beets into uniform pieces.

- Use fresh garlic and coriander for the most robust flavor.

- Feel free to experiment with additional herbs and spices such as thyme or cumin to diversify the flavor profile.

- If possible, let the beets marinate in the olive oil, garlic, and coriander mixture for at least 30 minutes before roasting to enhance the flavors.

- Lining your baking sheet with parchment paper can help prevent sticking and make for easier cleanup.

Once roasted to perfection, these Mediterranean beets are not only delicious but also visually appealing with their vibrant color. Serve them warm as a side dish or chill them for a refreshing salad topping. With minimal ingredients and simple preparation, this recipe is a fantastic way to elevate your vegetable game.
