Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan 180°C/gas mark 6. Put the beetroot in the centre of a large piece of foil with the garlic bulb and thyme. Scatter over the oil and season with black pepper. Seal the foil into a parcel and place on a roasting tray. Roast in the oven for 45 minutes or until soft. Squeeze the garlic from their skins and toss with the beetroot. Leave to cool completely.
