Heat the oven to 190c/fan 170c/gas 6. Trim each beetroot leaving the stalk and root end attached. Line a small roasting tin with a piece of foil, arrange the beetroot on the foil and add the whole cloves of garlic. Drizzle with 3 tbsp olive oil, balsamic vinegar and a splash of water. Season, cover tightly with the foil and roast for about 1-1½ hours or until tender.
