My favorite beet recipe is grated raw beats and carrots tossed with crumbled feta cheese and dressed with good balsamic vinegar and fresh ground pepper. Beets taste a lot like carrots when they are raw. Every beet-hater that has tried this salad has loved it. ;)gypsyweenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7778735297684424379.post-23804016291912135172009-04-23T13:48:00.000-07:002009-04-23T13:48:00.000-07:00YUM!! fresh veggies! i am retarded and have neve...YUM!! fresh veggies! i am retarded and have never tried beets. i love the color but am chicken shit to put them in my mouth. maybe if they were grilled or roasted and not in a can. maybe.drollgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17098844996589898590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7778735297684424379.post-9891514811997574042009-04-23T11:27:00.000-07:002009-04-23T11:27:00.000-07:00Thank you - I would have tried to peel them.

A bit firmer than mush :) Oh, and after you roast them, you can peel the skin off easily. Do not peel before roasting. Just rinse them well in icy cold water.jennifer from pittsburghhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12188641511998447474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7778735297684424379.post-34588618163047433942009-04-23T10:00:00.000-07:002009-04-23T10:00:00.000-07:00The one thing I don't like about all the beets I'v...The one thing I don't like about all the beets I've ever had was that they were too firm and crunchy. If roasting will soften them up, that's worth a try.

Any way that you roast the beets, you know that they're done when you can pierce them easily with a fork.<br />Then you can serve them as is, or drizzle some olive oil over them and sprinkle them with salt.<br />They are unbelievable tasty, sweet and delicious!jennifer from pittsburghhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12188641511998447474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7778735297684424379.post-50395280486561165812009-04-23T08:55:00.000-07:002009-04-23T08:55:00.000-07:00Tell me more about roasted beets?
