Parboil them and skin them, then bake them.
Or oil them and throw them on the grill, eat the inside
Or peel, slice and pickle
Or grate and toss in vinegar
Or chop/grind/puree and mix in a soup with potatoes and celery, salt to taste.
And steam the greens too! |

I grew yellow beets in my garden last summer. They are sweeter than than the std red beets but I cook them both the same.
Cut off the greens
clean, chop and sett the greens (including the stems) aside
scrub the beets with a vegetable brush or something similar
maybe peel them a bit (but usually don't)
slice thin
cook with a little oil in a large, covered skillet, turning once in a while
when nearly done, throw the greens on top and cook some more
cook until the greens have wilted
I don't recall the timing - the whole cooking routine might be 10 or 15 min
Oh! I usually add salt while cooking too.
They are pretty good.
Enjoy! |

I've never seen golden beets...but I suppose you can bake them together with other root vegetables, like I do with red ones. Cut in large cubes, toss in with potato, pumpkin (not a root, I know), sweet potato, carrots. Sprinkle with herbs and spices, drizzle with olive oil and bake (~180C) until potato is cooked through and has golden edges. mmmmmm  |

god i love beets...
i like them this way best:
- boil, rinse under cold water to cool, skin them
- slice into nice, thick discs onto plates
- sprinkle w/ a nice, salty feta
- drizzle with some balsamic
- grind a bunch of pepper on top
SO GOOD. alone or with peppery greens. so yummy, so healthy, so easy. so... BEST. i bet they'd be great grilled and then served this way, too. |
