Another beetophile here.Wife hates 'em so we never have them at home, but I always enjoy them at a salad bar. I grew them once and had them boiled and buttered but pickled is the way I had them most of my life.
I'm a true omnivore; I love everything I've ever eaten and I relish the chance to try new things.

I love beets. I’ve never eaten the tops though. Especially good when the row is thinned. Small beets and tender tops similar to spinach.

I never could understand Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg.

Oh guys, roast whole in tin foil at 425 drizzled with olive oil and kosher salt until semi soft. Cool, peel and slice into 1/2" slices. Sear at smoking point hot in skillet with olive oil until some black color and crust on the outer. Plate and drizzle(drops) with a little more olive oil, top with crumbles goat cheese (the best you can find), toasted pumpkin seeds and of course a little more kosher salt and fresh cracked black pepper. I know it's a lot of work but most fine things in life are. Enjoy!

It's going to take 45 min or more to doneness at 425

I have a healthy row in the garden that is about to get thinned and I will pull the rest at the first hard frost. I like them roasted in the oven, pickled or in borscht. I will even eat them raw like an apple. Tops are in salads or cooked with bacon trim like mustard greens. The borscht is a family tradition at Christmas but I will make a batch now, Xmas and late winter. Love me some beets.

Pickled. Add them (plus the juice) into a glass bowl with allspice and hardboiled eggs. The last egg out is the best one.
