Fresh Lemon-Garlic Roasted Beets - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 medium beets, peeled
4 carrots, peeled
4 garlic cloves, thin sliced
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
1 pinch salt
1 pinch white pepper

Preparation

Preheat oven to 375\u00b0F.
Slice beets and carrots in 1/4 slices.
Toss the ingredients in a glass baking dish.
Cover tightly and roast for about 40 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
Shake or stir occasionally.
*When I make this I just might leave the cover off the last half of baking so that vegetables will get a roasted color.
