Beetroot recipes

Hi, I have some fresh beetroot, not the pickled jar type. Anyone have any simple ideas/ recipes of what to do with it

I cut up fresh beet root and make a smoothie out it and add strawberries, cranberries, 1/2 banana, handful of spinach or chard, chia/flax seeds, hemp protein powder and blend it up in my Nutribullet. It's really good and pretty.

I make ketchup or nomato sauce or beet kvass with it

Another vote for roasting. so yummy.

Here's a bunch of awesome looking beet recipes if you're feeling more adventurous. Now I really want to make pears, beets and pistachios.

I much prefer the greens to the roots for beets, but to get greens I have to also grow roots. I usually cook them with sweet potatoes to even out the earthy taste a bit. Or put them in a soup. But most of mine get pickled. I love them pickled.

I'll have to explore that NYT recipe piece--looks like there are some good ideas.

The greens are good, and I have to admit that I am a fan of the goat cheese pairing.
