    Borscht!

    Peeled beats, beet greens, carrots, onion, other leftover veggies, stock or stock cubes....pressure cooker, immersion blender....the chopped dill and if necessary lemon juice to sour a bit. Serve with sour cream. Yummy vegetarian soup. Can add a can of beans (or soak you own) or lentils for more protein.

    My Baba would probably roll in her grave about the immersion blender....but we prefer it that way...fusion tradition!

    You could make it with meat and a meat stock as well...we had always used pork bones to make a stock. Wouldn't purée it if using meat...bit would shred the veggies...a more chunky soup.

    Otherwise, cut tops off, wash and then roast in the skin (put in tinfoil...I don't add anything) . The flavour intensifies. I then will slice as a side for dinner...leftovers are made into salads...last one was a green chickpea (could use edamame), beet and feta with a simple basalmic dressing.

    I cut the tops off, put them in foil and use a little olive oil and salt. Roast in oven @ 375 for 40 mins. Very Yummy! I eat them on spinach salads with some goat cheese.

    For all you beet roasters, have you ever added a little vinegar? It may surprise you. :)

    Grated in salad with other veges (carrot, zucchini) or just on their own, with a simple balsamic dressing, maybe with some toasted pumpkin seeds or walnuts & some feta cheese. I also put them in smoothies - yum! Tasty and lots of fibre. Not sure if anyone has mentioned but don't be alarmed if what comes out the other end is beetroot coloured!!

    Sliced, oven roasted for crisps, grated to make veggie burgers (normally with parsnip and sweet potato )

    I love to peel whole beets, cut them in half, sprinkle a tiny bit of EVOO and sea salt and roast them in the oven until soft and slightly browned.

    This is exactly what I do. Have them as a side or add to a cold salad.
