Tip: You can save the beet greens! Here’s our favorite recipe for beet greens: a beet green omelette. Here’s the best way to cook beets: roasted whole. This oven roasted beets recipe takes about an hour, but it brings out the sweetest flavor. You don’t even need salt and pepper, they’re that good! Alex and I were floored at the flavor that comes out of baked beets. We love them with goat cheese as an appetizer, in a beet salad, or whizzed into bright pink hummus. Want to cut the time in half? Make Instant Pot Beets in just 30 minutes.
