I love beets. I didn’t realize this until just a few years ago. I think as a kid for some reason I just associated them with canned beets (which btw are also great in my opinion for certain things). Or maybe I just thought I wouldn’t link them. For whatever reason, I didn’t try to cook with them until a few years ago. Now I can’t stop searching for and trying different beet recipes.
We went vegetable picking at a local farm’s harvest festival on Sunday and we got a lot of beets! Below are a few recipes I can’t wait to try (in fact, I have some beets roasting in the oven as I write this). Click on the pictures and they will take you to the original recipe post.
Roasted Beet Wedges with Champagne vinegar
Beet and Black Eyed Pea Salad
Beet and Walnut Dip

I am also not a fan of beets but anything with the words “red velvet” in it is worth trying in my opinion!
I love beets from a can but I never though about cooking any beet dishes. Interesting recipes.

I hate beets. I have no idea why I have never liked them, I just have NEVER liked them. That recipe for red velvet cupcakes with beets has me rethinking the whole ant beet thing… will definitely give them a try. Thanks
‘My kids hate them! Maybe I can try the red velvet cupcakes and see if they even know its in there, thanks!
My dad and husband think they hate them too and they both devoured the cupcakes!
I love beets! It’s a hard sell to the rest of the family… Oh well, more beets for me! These recipes look great- thank you for sharing.
I luv beets, too. I love the beet greens just as much. If grilling, I wrap beets in foil with the skin on. After they are grilled, and cooled, it is easy to slip off the skin. Did you know Martha Stewart uses a tiny amount of beet juice in rhubarb to make it come out nice and red? I like them cold and with vinegar in salads, and just plain.
