Peel and coarsely grate the beetroot. Finely chop the onion and garlic.
In a large skillet or pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the onion for 3-4 minutes, until translucent. Add the garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
Add the grated beetroot and sauté for 5 minutes, allowing it to release its juices. Season with salt, pepper, and fresh thyme.
Add the Arborio rice and toast for 2 minutes, until slightly translucent.
Slowly add the warm vegetable broth, one ladle at a time, stirring constantly until the rice absorbs the liquid. Repeat this process until the rice is creamy and tender (approximately 20-25 minutes).
At the end of cooking, stir in the vegan butter and lemon juice to make the risotto extra creamy.
Before serving, garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
