Golden Beet Recipes

Roasted, steamed, boiled, air-fried, golden beets are delicious and they never leave a mess.

Prep time: 10 MinCook time: 55 MinTotal time: 1 H & 5 M

Ingredients

• Roasted Golden Beets (see notes for other cooking methods and additional seasonings)
• 6 whole Golden Beets
• salt, and pepper to taste
• 3 tablespoons of olive oil
• 1 teaspoon (or more to taste) granulated garlic powder
• foil or parchment paper
• Optional: 1 tablespoon of honey or brown sugar just a little on each beet
• Note: see other suggestions for seasonings under notes

Instructions

1. Scrub the beets with a vegetable brush to remove dirt and cut off the stems.
2. Note: Beet greens are delicious in a salad with Italian dressing.
3. Beets do not need to be peeled as the skin will fall off easily after roasting. I do peel them slightly to let the seasoning penetrate better.
4. Place the cleaned beets on a sheet foil of parchment paper
5. Season brush with olive oil and seasoning and honey if using.
6. Fold up tightly to seal.
7. Bake at 400 degrees for around 55 minutes.
8. If a knife or fork goes in easily they are done, continue roasting if they are still hard. This also depends on the sizes.
9. I usually add two beets to a packet of foil.
10. Slice and these are delicious as they are roasted or can be used to add to salads, or a side dish for any meal.
