I used a small heart-shaped cookie cutter for these, but if you don't have one, just use a paring knife. You'll end up with more artsy, homemade-looking beets, which is just as cool. If you're not into beets, you could also do this with potatoes, sweet potatoes, eggplant--use your imagination.
1 bunch beets
1 teaspoon herbes de provence*
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Slice the beets into 1/4" slices. (Don't worry about peeling them because we're using the inside)
2. Cut a heart into each slice and put in a small bowl.
3. Cover the hearts lightly with olive oil, and add the herbes de provence, salt and pepper. (Be generous with the salt and pepper--you're going to need a couple pinches of salt here).
4. Place hearts on a baking sheet. (If you have a Silpat mat or parchment paper available, it's a good idea to use it).
5. Place in the oven and roast for 35-40 minutes.
*Herbes de provence is just an herb mixture of thyme, rosemary, marjoram, and basil. If you don't have it, use your favorite dried herb
