Ideas for cooking beets (purple)?

Wash them really well, keep a little of the stem end so you can handle them while peeling. Wrap them in foil and stick them in a 450F oven for about one hour depending on size.

Take out of oven and let them cool enough to handle, use a paper towel to rub the skin off. Slice and serve with a little salt and pepper, olive oil, goat cheese and roasted walnuts.

Delicious!

We take fresh beets, peel them, slice, drizzle olive oil over them salt lightly and then roast in the oven at 400 for about 15 minutes.

Absolutely love roasted beets.

If they are canned, we either eat them cold from the can or heat them and eat them hot. Chilled sliced canned beets are nice in a salad.

If you can find "Tiny whole beets" in the can, they are tasty.

Note: If you roast fresh beets and eat enough of them, you will experience a purple/red surprise a day or two later on the throne.

especially for the kids, boil or roast, and put s/p and butter on them................tastes like corn on the cob

love them this way

Ask an Australian. They put'em on everything even Burgers

Google the Lillete roasted beet salad. Delicious.

If you get the urge, scoop up a handful of dirt and eat it. You won't know the difference. The only thing on Earth I will not eat.

What kid loves beets? Mission impossible.

My four year old loves beets. Now, most other vegetables, he won't eat.

We chop them, drizzle with olive oil and thyme, roast at 400 until tender, and then cover in feta cheese.

Another vote for roasted. Also don't forget the beet greens....better than mustard or turnip greens.

Why are you punishing your kids? What did they do? Kill someone?
