We planted beets for the first time this year and the first harvests are now coming in. I have way more beets than I know what to do with. I make fresh beet chips sometimes but that won’t use even close to all of them and isn’t really suitable to serve with a meal. Who has good beet recipes?

Yeah my parents would serve me microwaved beets out of a can as a child. Hated them. Since then I’ve had them in mediumly tomato-fied borscht and stuff and haven’t minded them but plain beets suck as to me and I find it hard to mix them into meals the same way I could with potatoes or broccoli or corn or something. Just kinda’ bitter and tough-ish like most root vegetables but wet at the same time, it’s not appealing to me.

Beets gotta be fresh. Canned beets are nasty

The one use I ever found for canned beets was adding them to an apple crisp.

spoiler

there actually weren’t any apples, but it turned out great
