Clean the beets and trim off any tops. Rub the beets with a little olive oil and wrap them in aluminum foil. Place in the oven and roast until they can be easily pierced with a fork, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Set aside to cool, then remove skins using your fingers or a towel. Slice beets into rounds.
Whisk cumin, lime juice, honey, extra virgin olive oil, and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Add the beets and gently toss to coat.
To serve, arrange beets on a plate and garnish with the mint leaves and a dusting of salt.
