Beets

frankysgurl

Anyone have any good recipes for beets as a side dish for dinner. My kids and hubby only seem to like pickled beets. Over the years I have had beets at various restaurants served as a side dish but have no idea how to cook them.

You can try to bake/fry them and make beet chips or get several different types of beats, cut them into medallions/slices and turn them into a colorful salad.

Beetroot is delicious raw. I shredded some with jicama and red cabbage for a delicious red slaw a few days ago.

This recipe for beet chips is really good. http://acozykitchen.com/baked-beet-chips/

This. I roast the beets, peel them then toss them
In a dressing made with equal Parts lemon juice, maple syrup and olive oil, a little Dijon, salt and pepper. Crumble a little goat cheese and top spring mix with the beets and goat cheese. Drizzle on a little more dressing. It's the best salad in the entire world!

I love beets either boiled or roasted. I cook them in the pressure cooker and they only take about 15 minutes. Then I dice them up and toss with balsamic vinegar. If your family only likes pickled...they will like these! That's how I like them as well!

They take a looooong time to cook btw. If you boil them, I leave them whole and unpeeled (just scrub them and cut off the ends). Then once they are fork tender...strain them. The skins will then just slip off. They can be handled very similarly to potatoes but will take a lot longer to cook! Use a stainless pot so it doesn't turn magenta forever!

Yum. I love roasted beets with rosemary, but this sounds fabulous!

Hubs also makes a beet and apple salad.

I do something similar, only I throw them in the steam cooker for about an hour. Love balsamic vinegar on beets!

Pine nuts are a great addition to that salad.

This is my favorite too. If you aren't big on goat cheese, roasted beets are also good as a salad with orange supremes and arugula.
