Variations For Baked Beets/Baked Beetroot
Roasted whole beets– Leave them whole instead of cutting them. This will take longer to cook so keep an eye on them.
Roasted beet salad/ Beet and goat cheese salad– Add them to an arugula salad topped with goat cheese. This is one of my favorite ways to eat them.
Beet humus– Add them to this Easy Hummus (One Bowl) for a bright red and delicious variation.
Use golden beets– They have a milder flavor but the instructions are the same,
Use other seasoning– Such as Greek seasoning or black pepper and tarragon.
Add balsamic glaze– Once baked, you can drizzle them with a balsamic reduction or you can drizzle it before roasting. Do whatever you prefer.
Add citrus– Add a a drizzle of lemon juice or lime juice to brighten the flavor.
Add fruit– Serve them with a topping of dried cranberries for a sweet and savory flavor profile.
Serve with a sauce– Such as a sweet yogurt, thick cream, or even sour cream.
Use them as a topping– On flatbread, pizzas, salads, in a vegetarian wrap or sandwich.
Tips And Techniques
Do you have to peel beets for roasting? How do you peel beets? Yes, peel them using a vegetable peeler. You may also want to wear gloves so that the red flesh doesn’t stain your skin.
Why are my beets bitter? This usually means they were over-cooked. Next time, cook them for a shorter amount of time.
How do you know when beets are done baking? When they are crispy on the outside and fork tender on the inside. This usually takes about 30-35 minutes when baked at 400 degrees.
Toss beets halfway through baking– Because this ensures even crispiness on all the beets.
Adjust seasoning– Add more or less of whatever you prefer!
Don’t overlap beets on the lined baking tray– Because they will end up a little soggy and not super crispy. Spread them out!
Line the baking tray with foil– Because this makes for really easy clean-up. The red juices from beets will stain so this is one way to keep the mess contained. It also helps prevent the beets from sticking to the pan.
Storage
Refrigerate– In a sealed container for up to 2 days. Please note they won’t be as crispy any more.
Freeze– I do not recommend freezing them, because they will become soggy upon thawing and just don’t taste fresh.
Reheat– In the microwave, oven, or air fryer to re-crisp the outside.
