I have a bag of beets in my fridge that I would like to prepare.
How do you like your beets best?
Any easy, simple recipes you use?
Thanks in advance!

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.0

Steamed beets are like candy! (We got a stacking bamboo steamer at our local Asian market, or there are the stainless ones that fit nicely inside the pot.) Steaming veggies is surprisingly more quick than roasting or boiling & it keeps so many more of the nutrients in... People request beets at our dinner parties now & we snack on the leftovers (if there are any.) P.S. apparently they are great in smoothies; still have yet to try that.0

Roasted with EVOO, fresh cracked pepper and rosemary. Om nom nom.
^ just saw that. Seriously the best.0 -
I made them with EVOO, salt, pepper, fresh rosemary and sliced scallions!
Roasted in the oven on 375 and they were really tasty!
The only thing I didn't like was now my fingers are pink from peeling them, lol!

I seriously put them in my smoothies. I do all veggies in my smoothies. Sometimes I even juice them. I am actually not sure if I have ever ate them cooked...haha.0

I've just started putting beets in smoothies. They are surprisingly good! I steam them in my rice cooker, unskinned, if only so my very old VitaMix can process them better. I didn't know how good beets were till I made them for my mother, following her directions. She just boils them like potatoes, skin and all. The skin is edible once they're done but you can peel it off easily if preferred. She likes them sliced cold, and I have to admit they are quite good warm, too. WAY way better than those nasty canned things that hubby likes!
Great suggestions here. Thanks to all of you.0 -
I cut them up and eat them raw0

I like them shredded up and put into salads. They really are good raw. I also like them in juices.0

I like them roasted...and beyond that one can do many things with them, all of which are wonderful. Roast and shred, roast and eat like potatoes, roast and dice and let cool for a salad...there are so many ways.0
