Do you like beetroot?

We love beetroot. My favourite recipe is Beetroot and butternut squash warm salad. I cube both vegetables and toss them in oil, garlic, salt and freshly ground black pepper. Toss the squash first then the beetroot and place on a baking tray covered in foil. I raise a little wall of foil in the middle so the veg are kept apart. Roast in a medium oven. Baby plum tomatoes and small onions can be added to add more colour and flavour.
I serve it warm with green salad, feta cheese and garlic bread.
Delicious.

Remember making pickled beetroot when first married as instructed by MiL. Oh the mess! Hands stained that you couldn’t scrub clean. Now I just buy it ready to eat in a jar! Like others I can take it or leave it.

love pickled beetroot! can get a jar and a fork and tuck in.

I love it fresh or pickled. It’s one of my favourite foods

Grated cheese, sliced beetroot and rocket make a delicious sandwich or roll.

The mess it leaves puts me off a bit.

Love it! Served anyway- grated raw, cooked, pickled or chutney.
Started eating lots when pregnant and have never stopped

Never liked beetroot. It tastes of earth.

Sliced or baby beetroots with a nice chipolata and crinkle cut chips ?

I loathe pickled beetroot. I do, however, like plain boiled/roasted beets, cold or hot. Don’t enjoy goats cheese, so that salad is a big Nono for me.

I put in the oven with the roast potatoes, easy and nice.

Often when people say they don’t like beetroot they are referring to pickled beetroot. Such a shame they are unaware of the taste and health benefits of non pickled beetroot.

We love it. Boiled, roasted, juiced and a favourite is Baxter’s baby beets which I enjoy straight from the jar to snack on.

Tried it all ways Esspee to satisfy those around me and I still hate it.

Love beetroot which we usually just boil but will take some ideas from this to ring the changes.

Love it especially the heritage type with goat's cheese and salad.

Today's lunch - beetroot & feta frittata

I put it with loads of meals. This is tonight's.

I’ve grown Choggia this year, which looks ( on the seed packet) to be both white and purple rings inside.
Also Boltardy normal beets.
We are a beet loving household here, easy to grow, delicious and good roasted, pickled, also makes a lovely spicy soup.

I forced myself to drink the juice when this came out from the British Heart Foundation www.bhf.org.uk/what-we-do/news-from-the-bhf/news-archive/2015/january/beetroot-and-blood-pressure but have to confess I haven't persevered!

I love it, but it sends my blood sugars too high!

Cook in oven wrapped in foil, tasty or cover hand and grate it raw, very tasty.

More beetroot - today's lunch crispy tofu with a drizzle of sweet chilli sauce ?️

Todays lunch

Cold roast beef left over from a roast on Tuesday, green salad, jersey royals, home made pickled beetroot and home made mayonnaise.

Riverwalk, I love beetroot - especially as a hot vegetable. I tend to bake or microwave it, with the top and root removed, sometimes sliced, but skin left on. I don't have the patience to boil and then peel it. I don't care if it 'bleeds' as I'll drink the juice (I keep and drink all the veg cooking water for the vitamins and minerals).
