1 medium beet, peeled and chopped

3 tablespoons crumbled Gorgonzola cheese

Ingredients for the Dressing:

1 1/2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spritz the beets with the olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and thyme. Roast in the oven for 5-10 minutes or until fork tender.
