We planted beets for the first time this year and the first harvests are now coming in. I have way more beets than I know what to do with. I make fresh beet chips sometimes but that won't use even close to all of them and isn't really suitable to serve with a meal. Who has good beet recipes?

          Some people just don't like a thing but, beets are something I didn't like until I made them right. It's one of those foods where knowing what you're doing with it is crucial. Also there are different kinds of beets and the taste is very different. Golden beets are dope raw and are sweet and juicy AF and taste like a beet but yellow if that makes sense, they also are yellow. Rainbow beets are almost more like a turnip. If you don't like it you don't like it, but if I knew you irl I would try to make you a nice beet food just in case you only had people do it bad. Many unpopular veggies are such a case.

            yeah.. i suppose someone out there might know how to make them in a way i could stomach, but i haven't met that person

            same thing goes for cooked spinach... the smell alone makes my stomach turn

      Yeah my parents would serve me microwaved beets out of a can as a child. Hated them. Since then I've had them in mediumly tomato-fied borscht and stuff and haven't minded them but plain beets suck as to me and I find it hard to mix them into meals the same way I could with potatoes or broccoli or corn or something. Just kinda' bitter and tough-ish like most root vegetables but wet at the same time, it's not appealing to me.
