eetroot is wonderfully earthy, sweet, and packed with nutrients—great roasted, boiled, pickled, juiced, or eaten raw. If you tell me what you want (a recipe, how to cook it, health info, etc.), I can tailor it. For now, here are several great ways to use beetroot depending on what you’re looking for:

🌱 1. How to Cook Beetroot (Basic Methods)

Roasted (Best flavor)

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash beets and trim stems, leaving 1 inch to reduce bleeding.
Wrap whole beets in foil or place in a covered dish.
Roast 45–60 minutes until a knife slides in easily.
Cool slightly, then peel—the skins slip off.

Use in: salads, bowls, smoothies, side dishes.

Boiled (Fast & easy)

Add whole beets to a pot of water.
Boil 30–40 minutes (depending on size).
Cool and slip off skins.

Use in: pickles, mashing, quick salads.

Steamed (Most nutrient-friendly)

Steam whole or halved beets 25–35 minutes.
Peel afterward.
