Another nice roasted beets recipe. Watch them closely though, at such a high temperature they go from just browning, to nearly burning quite quickly. I liked the lemon flavour, think I'd add more herbs next time, or make sure the 2 tbsp of fresh herbs is measured after they are minced. I eye balled it and the herbs were a little lost. I like to use roasted beets in salads, so these flavours will be great.
