You can eat them hot just as they are after you've roasted them

I've never done roast beetroot myself, but love the taste of them. I have a heap of them growing this, and since it's been such a wet spring/summer so far, they are HUGE and the plants are going to seed (first time that's happened in 7 years of growing beetroot, which I usually make in chutneys and pickles). Can they be roasted if they're sort of 'overgrown'??

Some of mine went to seed,and I tried cooking them. They were woody and inedible.

I've got a beetroot hummus recipe that basically just swaps the chickpeas for beetroot. Got to try that this summer.

Found this "Summer Blush Dip" recipe today on the label of a can of Golden Circle beetroot slices and though it was worth recording.

SUMMER BLUSH DIP (makes 2 cups)

1/2 cup dry roasted cashew nuts
450gm can beetroot slices, drained
250 gm cream cheese at room temp
2 Tbs freshly grated parmesan
2 Tbs freshly chopped coriander
1/2 tsp chopped thyme leaves

Process raw cashews in a food processor until finely ground.

Add beetroot and process until pureed. Add cream cheese and parmesan and continue to process until smooth and well blended.

Fold in chopped coriander and thyme and season to taste with freshly ground pepper and salt.

To serve, place spoonfuls of dip on a serving platter and serve with slices of warm Turkish bread or baguette.

Note: I haven't yet made this, but I suspect that if you're using your own homegrown beetroot, you might want to steep it in vinegar after cooking to give it the required "bite".

mjhdeal's link for the Revive beetroot salad looks good. I have made the Thai corn fritters in the same article and they are really yummy. Will make them again with the beetroot salad. This would be a healthy, colourful and delicious meal.

If you bottle beetroot a handy tip for smaller sized beets is to slice them with an egg slicer then you will get nice even sized slices.

Great hot - but may turn your internals red for a day or so, if you get my drift!
I've eaten it with coconut cream; sour cream and I believe a popular Takapuna buffet restaurant, Oceans, (since closed - sadly) used to dice it and add it to what may have been a raspberry jelly!

It is a staple of mine over summer and I do love it (their 4C one is best, IMO) and I have even had 'beetroot haters' enjoy it, never having eaten it raw before.

I eat it raw grated with carrot, add the right dressing, bingo.

Oh I do cheat now and then, i.e. You can get say about 300 to 400 grams of tangy coleslaw from a deli section at the supermarket and grate in a nice beetroot plus a couple of nice juicy firm fresh carrots, this is demolished by others too, LOL.

My favourite is cooked beets hot or cold cubed roughly with chopped parsley, sprinkle of feta and drizzle of olive or oil of your choice. (Add what you like but simple is good). It certainly is easy to eat and good for my stomach digestion. Roasted is nice as well. Salt and Pepper of course.

Has anyone else tried the golden beetroot? We prefer them to the usual red beets, not so earthy tasting. They are lovely in stir fries, roasted then tossed in a balsamic glaze or pomegranate molasses and also make great french fries/chips instead of potato. I buy them at our local farmers market.

I grew multi coloured beetroot last year & I agree nauru, the golden ones are really good.
