Thanks for all the suggestions. Everything sounds delicious and I can't wait to try out some of these recipes.

I wash beets, add a bit of water, cover and steam them in the microwave. While they're still warm I slide off the skins, then slice up the beets and dress with salt, pepper, and vinegar. They taste a bit like my mom's Harvard beets. If you eat them cold the next day they taste like pickled beets.

Borsch, you can make it without cabbage if you don't care for it.

If you have a mandolin slicer (or that feature on a good processor), you can slice them thinly, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle a little sea salt on them and bake them until dry. Beet chips.

Please, please post the recipe. (And you never answered b/f, does it turn poop purplish after you eat the cake. I'm asking in all seriousness.) Thanks.

Probably not easy or quick, but I love pickled beets. As someone who hates raw tomatoes, I am always thrilled when I get a beet salad. Especially when it has goat cheese with it.

I also like them roasted, but this beet rosti recipe by Mark Bittman is awesome:

Grate them raw into a salad.

+1. Roast them in foil with EVOO for @35 min, depending on size (@425F). The skin will rub off with a paper towel after cooking. You can also serve them roasted cold as a salad with chèvre.

Beet soup!! Mmmm love beets.

I like them roasted in the oven with olive oil and salt and pepper

Any good recipe suggestions to use up a bunch of beets?
