How to Make Beets Plain And Simple
- Wash 1 pound of beets thoroughly and trim off the stems and root ends.
- Place beets in a large pot and cover with about 2 inches of water.
- Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 20-45 minutes, or until a fork easily pierces the center.
- Once cool enough to handle, remove beets from the pot and rinse under cold water. The skins should now peel off easily by rubbing with your fingers.
- Slice or grate the beets according to your desired serving style.
- For a zesty beet salad: Grate the zest of 1/2 an orange over the sliced beets. Whisk together 2 tablespoons of your favorite vinaigrette, 1/4 cup thinly sliced sweet onion, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, and 1/4 cup chopped hard-boiled eggs. Gently toss with the beets.
- Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
