The Best Way to Cook Beets (Seriously Good)

[@homecookingwithtom]

Roasted beet salad! kzbin.info/www/bejne/mouwloNupMekmpI

[@FemiNelson-sb1em]

I look forward to roasting my beets. Love them! Gracias 😋....."Isa"

[@motherbarbelo7]

Can you put garlic powder instead of onions powder

[@homecookingwithtom]

@@motherbarbelo7 Yes!

[@trustworthyjane5243]

They look like candy i thought you were going to put sugar on them but I guess with the sugar already in them they would be too sweet. As far as them sticking to pan you can always use silicone pan

[@ricksamericana749]

Beet greens and beet stems are the best part of beets. I saute the greens to use on sandwiches, chop and saute the stems separately they're a fantastic side dish. You're really missing out if you just toss the stems and greens.

[@virginiaslim6188]

as much as i love beets, i love the leaves just as much - if you like spinach, you'll love beet leaves!

[@kellyriley-duckworth4738]

One of my favorites! Grandma always cooked them, and I was happy because my sisters did not care for them - but grandma and I said there was more for us!

[@wildpetals]

Sautee like spinach... separate thick stems from leaves and put first in pan... they tale a bit longer. Then when done... a Lil lemon... Delish. I dont peel beets either. Just scrub and take excess roots off

[@Alison2436]

i love beet greeens even more than spinach! i feel it is less bitter

[@christinahurt7505]

I love a variety of veggies and really want to eat beets but can't handle the flavor..like eating dirt to me. I love spinach raw or cooked. Do the beet greens also have that same flavor as the root?

[@virginiaslim6188]

@@christinahurt7505 if I hadn't picked them, I never would've known or believed they were beet leaves. We wilted them, and they tasted like spinach x2. We haven't tried them raw yet, because the leaves are large and possibly tough by the time the beets are ready. But if you only want the leaves, you wouldn't have to wait, and they grow quickly. I wonder if the 'dirt' flavor you sense from beets is the same or similar as the effect with cilantro for some people...

[@kaakrepwhatever]

I used to roast beets by wrapping them in foil and roasting until soft. When cold I would slice them and serve on greens with goat cheese and pickled onions. Good stuff.

[@homecookingwithtom]

That sounds delicious!

[@samirmanohar573]

Absolutely great

[@ginacosta2043]

I do the same, the juices stay inside and I believe this is the right way

[@kraka2oanIner]

I LOVE goat cheese (also goat milk, incidentally). Your method sounds good too!

[@KeithPopp-h6j]

Try baked beets with pineapple and a little brown sugar. Beets with whole canned cranberries is also good, or make the cranberries from scratch if you like

[@JockoBeam-u5j]

Glad to see somebody not only enjoying but growing this totally underrated vegetable. Nice

[@skpince]

They're best pickled. Believe me. Par boil them, do not throw away the water you use for boiling. They need to be peeled before boiling. Chop them up to your like. Not too small. Place them in a jar, add some vinegar, garlic along with the water you used for boiling and cap it. Wait for a few days and they're ready to eat. I suggest using them in salads. Full of vitamins and minerals.

[@kaakrepwhatever]

You can ferment beets into pickles in a salt brine (1 tsp salt per cup of water). After a week or two, depending on the temperature of your kitchen, the beets will be tangy and pickled. Great with sliced onions, celery, and/or other vegetables. Check recipe videos on youtube.

[@homecookingwithtom]

Good idea, thanks for sharing!

[@skpince]

@@homecookingwithtom thank you!

[@lauriaktahi]

dont forget the hard boiled eggs

[@walterscott2286]

​@@kaakrepwhateverThanks for that! Can't wait to try!👍

[@loisrossi841]

I believe that I have been waiting for this recipe all my life! Thank you.

[@homecookingwithtom]

Glad you found it!

[@hctim96]

whenever I cook beets my kitchen looks like a crime scene...

[@homecookingwithtom]

🤣

[@IvenRossall-te3sx]

@hctim96 😂👍. Thank You Very Much, Made My Day🤗

[@juneking4512]

I hear you!!! I'm a messy cook too! LOL!

[@katbow5922]

So funny 😂....but I agree

[@suec87]

😂😂

[@melodioushaste]

Roasted beets are so good. I like to use sesame oil and make a sesame ginger cold beet salad with them.

[@homecookingwithtom]

That sounds really good.

[@joannenardoni17]

Post that recipe!

[@loribrodie1732]

I do carrots and turnips mixed like this. Yummers!

[@alenahawke475]

Roasted root vegetables! Yum!

[@billpetersen298]

Damn, I always forget about turnips. Next year in the garden for sure.

[@margaretWestminster]

Those beets that you grew are lovely, they are such a healthy root vegetable. Thank you for recipe

[@GreenWitch1]

The stems & leaves are delicious! Ive never roasted beets, but I’ll give it a go. I boil mine & then add a ton of butter. So good!!

[@karenlee6013]

Boy I’ll put butter on anything but I never thought about putting it on beets thank you I’ll try it.

[@GreenWitch1]

@ You’ll thank yourself!

[@Pizo53]

I grew these things when I lived in San Diego in a community garden. I would prepare two side dishes from the vegetable - the root I would steam and the greens I would sauté with garlic and olive oil. Delicious and nutritious!

[@MMA-ki3pm]

I really enjoy beets boiled in water and vinegar, skin on, stems off. When fork tender run under cold water and the skins will just rub off. Slice and serve cold. Delicious.

[@jenniferhoerth4332]

Beet greens are delicious and sooooo good for us.

[@danielfaben5838]

You have a winning approach to making videos. Thank you. Great manner and voice.

[@homecookingwithtom]

Thank you Daniel, I appreciate the kind words.

[@missa1goins]

Beautifully grown vegetables. Thank you, Tom! I've never liked beets, yes I've tried canned, smoked and it was a no, made a chocolate cake recipe using beet juice but I couldn't taste beets. This recipe looks delicious and I'll try it soon.

[@homecookingwithtom]

Personally, I don't care for canned beets either, but I like them this way. Maybe you will too, thanks for watching!

[@kgveit51]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Godfree1212]

Bake. Finish with a good squeeze of fresh orange. And or grate fresh horseradish ❤

[@kayeruss7313]

Never thought of roasting beets. I like them straight out of the jar. This looks worth a try!

[@jerriwoodard6677]

Beet sandwiches are AMAZING!❤ Roast whole beets, slice and put on toasted everything bagels with cream cheese (or vegan cream cheese), salt and pepper. Could add avocado, onion, or other things or veggies if you want, but they are delicious just as I described. Picked ginger would be good, too!

[@ayeshakhan-yg5fn]

I tried this recipe. Two days ago. Great way to enjoy beets. Delicious freshly baked and even better cold with a creamy salad next day

[@Diana-yx8dh]

I roast in olive or avocado oil. No spice. I love the natural sweetness that comes through.

[@marksavage1744]

I heard olive oil can't take heat and gets rancid. Maybe add olive oil after cooking for taste.

[@aalatastykitchen786]

Roasted beets are so yummy and tasty recipe thanks for sharing 💐🤤 5:32

[@bluorb]

Also, a combination of beets & broccoli cooked in that style is fantastic.

[@jennyanimal9046]

Those are some beautiful beets that you got from your backyard. You must have some lovely soil.

[@katbow5922]

I LOVE Beet greens as much as the beets, maybe more. Wish they were easier to come by. 😋

[@ColemanRG]

I enjoy beet hummus using salted, roasted beets, cumin, roasted walnuts, sesame oil, olive oil, lemon juice, and apple cider vinegar. Mega yum with hot pita or crusty French bread.

[@homecookingwithtom]

That sounds amazing!

[@gloriarood4407]

Thank. This is 1 of my favorites. I bake them the same way. Other times I add parsnips, turnips, carrots, onion wedges. YUM 😋

[@homecookingwithtom]

Parsnips and turnips sound great. Happy cooking!

[@sbingham1979]

This was an excellent beet tutorial - just in time for side dishes over the holidays! Thanks so much.

[@DK-sy2fk]

Looks really good, and so simple. I'll try this one. Thanks.

[@homecookingwithtom]

Enjoy!

[@janettemasiello5560]

They look absolutely delicious ! I want 😋

[@sr.6816]

I love red beets and I have never roasted them like this! They look absolutely yummy! I will have to try them like that! Thank you so much for your video!! ❤

[@homecookingwithtom]

Thanks for watching!

[@mikecrowther6552]

Thank you for sharing your recipe- I love beets as well ! I mostly roast them in ghee,which has a higher and longer temperature tolerance and gives a nice flavour. I find that it is better to salt them late or after in the cooking process, as they will release less water and the beets will roast rather than stew. My favorite way to eat them is tossed with salt,pepper,a bit of balsamic vinegar and topped with lashings of sour cream!

[@wheatgerm1208]

Delicious! I came across your video as I was preparing a shopping list and was bored with the usual vegetables. This not only reminded me how much I love beets, but gave me a new way to prepare them. I usually roast them whole and season them afterwards. This was seriously good, indeed! Thanks for the suggestion. This won't be the last time I'll do this.

[@homecookingwithtom]

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@tikvahduesters6690]

you're right Tom, I learned about baking them a few years back and I've never cooked them any other way, they're GREAT! The best.

[@homecookingwithtom]

Great minds think alike. 😁

[@nancyshinn2037]

I love how easy you make cooking. Your recipes sound very yummy and very home cooked. More people should cook from scratch at home. It's not that difficult and it's so much more healthy.

[@homecookingwithtom]

I agree! Home-cooked meals are the best.

[@carolr7823]

Beet greens are nutritious and delicious.

[@Miguel53de]

Two weeks ago I discovered this video by chance. Just two days after I got some beets from friends. I liked the idea of the recie and tried it out. What a great discovering. Today I made it again and it is great again. Thank you very much Mr. Tom. You are the first ever cooking canal I will follow from now on.

[@homecookingwithtom]

Welcome aboard!

[@victoriagerrish4640]

The greens are so nutritious for us and they are delicious.

Gosh yes this recepie looks Good. I might give it a try tonight.

Made them like you suggested in your video yesterday. I have to thank you, because they were divine!!

[@homecookingwithtom]

Wonderful!

[@mistyriennett5902]

I love beet greens. So healthy and tasty.

[@GoodWillPrevail]

I've been getting into beets lately. Looks like an easy way to enjoy them. Usually I steam them, but I will have to try roasting them.

[@qwertyuiop273]

Love roasted beets, such great flavor!! Boiling takes away so much! Hope you all try them this way. Was raised on store canned beets but after eating some fresh- how wonderful. Grow my own now.

[@Pippie807]

This looks really good. Thank you I will try it

[@8762usma]

Great recipe!

Thanks!

[@HoneyAndCornflakes-jv9ke]

X-cellent quick & easy recipe..love beets. And especially roasted ones!

[@homecookingwithtom]

Roasted beets are the best!

[@trog69]

I really need to try these. I loathe pickled beets which is all I've ever had, but I know they must taste much different prepared differently.

[@ScreenPrintR]

Thank you very much. Looks amazing.

[@homecookingwithtom]

Glad you liked it!

[@frenchfriedrat]

Thanks! Winter / root veggies are the best and beets run a tie to squash as my favorites. Roasting is the preferred method in my kitchen too.

[@Linda7647]

This looks fantastic. Usually I just cut the ends off and boil the beets whole until you can pierce them with a fork. Then I let them cool, peel off the skin (don't like the skin) then slice and eat. I eat them plain with no seasoning, but I'd love to try this recipe. That would be a nice recipe for golden beets as well, which I adore. I can't find them very often, though. But when I do see them, I snatch them up. They're so good.

[@homecookingwithtom]

Definitely more than one way to cook a beet, thanks for watching!

[@Goodgrief44]

This is how i cook all root vegies,but for some reason never thought to include beets,can't wait to try. Also everything tastes better out of the garden

[@Alison2436]

sauté beet greens with eggs for a tasty breakfast! or u can also freeze beet greeens to add to soups in winter for a spinach substitute, they hold up better structurally in a soup and have a more mild flavor than spinach for those who dont like bitter!

[@homecookingwithtom]

Great tip!

[@maryannedeering1663]

These looks delicious, Thank you 😊

[@sli-fox]

Nice! I cook beets similarly. At the end however, I mix a 50/50 ratio of honey and balsamic vinegar and toss with fresh thyme to cover the beets.

[@Tropicalbliss45]

I am going to try this! Thanks for sharing.

[@Velaya818]

Looks great!! I love how simple it is. Going to definitely give it a go. 😊

[@irenedifillippo5429]

Awesome Tom - thank you for this variation i never thought of !

[@homecookingwithtom]

You're welcome!

[@elitarantula2833]

Beet is a favourite here. But I steam them. Will try this recipe next time 😍 but with olive oil ☺️

[@homecookingwithtom]

Lots of ways to cook beets!

[@EspressoBaby]

This looks absolutely delicious. Thank you!

[@danam.8709]

I dehydrate my beet greens also spinach, parsley, any good greens then I powder them in the blender for immune and vitamin boost for way less expense. Love roasted beets.

[@jzinkhan5608]

Put the stems and leaves in home made soup, so good.🇨🇦

[@ladikmk]

Grilled beets have the best flavour. When they're boiled, all the nutrients end up in the water. My fav variety of beets is Cylindra. They're long, cylindrical in shape, crisp and don't get woody & are just perfect for canning, if you like pickled beets.

[@homecookingwithtom]

I’ve never tried Cylindra beets, but I’ll have to try them!

[@MrSullismom]

if you boil them with the skin on, all the nutrients remain.

[@keepmoving7765]

Love me some beets. Got to try this method.

[@dwalker6868]

Yummy thank you for sharing

[@suec87]

Lovvveeee beats no matter how it is prepared. Realized not many people like it😔. It is good hot, cold, with salad, by itself, boiled, roasted, steamed…….. u just can’t go wrong with beats👏🤣🤣🤣❤️❤️❤️

[@Rj-dq1qe]

I have never grilled beets before but I will try that.

[@homecookingwithtom]

Let me know how it turns out.

[@azimahamir6916]

So lovely beetroot from your garden

[@homecookingwithtom]

Yes indeed!

[@UsualSuspect404]

Looks fantastic!! I bet you could substitute Butternut Squash in the same recipe.?

[@barbarastepien-foad4519]

Stems and leaves are the BEST PART ❤

[@homecookingwithtom]

In an organic garden without pesticides, the leaves get heavily eaten by insects. That's why I removed them.

[@JazzyGems111]

They look delicious. I will definitely try making them this way, except I will use avocado oil. I would suggest ditching all canola, vegetable or seed oils and replace with avocado, coconut or olive oil which are a much healthier choice! Thanks!

[@homecookingwithtom]

You've been lied to by a con artist. Scientific evidence says the opposite is true. kzbin.info/aero/PLCDfbnAvmnxk77iX6pvsHvAWAHr5ULocp

Cold pickled beets are one of my favorite foods but a few years ago my mom made some baked beets in the oven and they were pretty good. Beets are awesome

I always bake beets like this except I don't put any garlic powder on them. Delicious!!

[@m.y.o.b.724]

I'm not a fan of pickled beets but these fried ones look really good. I'll give it a shot in my air fryer.

[@deborahmccall4456]

Try roasting in balsamic reduction and salt and pepper in a foil pouch. Make the reduction yourself with balsamic vinegar boiled till it reduces or buy it in grocery stores. Bake. 350. Or if you want toss in olive or sunflower oil first. Yum

[@homecookingwithtom]

That sounds like a great idea!

[@SkittlesBoris]

Tons of really yummy nutrition in the leaves and stems. Don't miss out on their contribution of essential vitamins and minerals. BTW Swiss chard is beets grown more for stems than roots.

[@HaroonKhan-ix3xs]

InshaAllah I will try this❤

[@DeKalbGal]

I pickle them. I make borsht. I boil them and make salad. Now I'll try this one also. Thx!!😊 Looks like a good side for fish or chicken. I'd try with a little lemon on top

[@homecookingwithtom]

Sounds good to me!

[@jimjr4432]

Thanks, great video. Will grow beets next year!

[@homecookingwithtom]

Happy gardening!

[@missa1goins]

homecookingwithtom, I've failed at gardening, it get so hot, very little rain where I'm at and the soil feel like rocks where I live (NW Texas). I keep trying every year, I don't know why because nothing grows lol

[@Jean-ni6of]

I tried growing beets. It was a lot of work for nothing. I have since bought myself a can opener. It is so easy .

[@Nanmoses2023]

Do they have to be peeled for baking? Im thinking that if they are organic, the peeling would contain a lot of minerals in them.

[@homecookingwithtom]

It was discussed in the video, maybe watch again.

[@homecookingwithtom]

Hope you enjoy!

[@virginiaeriguel8738]

Thanks for sharing😊

[@kraka2oanIner]

I understand that beets, and the greens (though very nutritious) are high in OXALATES. This may not be a problem unless you have kidney disorders. I skin them the same way, minimally. And I rinse them. Your method looks great! I stay away from canola oil, vegetable oil, and other seed oils. I'd use olive oil. For certain I will try YOUR METHOD. Thanks!

[@homecookingwithtom]

You've been lied to about seed oils. Here are some facts. kzbin.info/aero/PLCDfbnAvmnxk77iX6pvsHvAWAHr5ULocp

[@michaelheurkens4538]

I like to cook beet tops and Swiss chard together. When done to your liking, add garlic butter, stir and serve hot. This way to cook beets sounds quite tasty, but I prefer avacado oil. Cheers.
