Steamed Beets
Steamed beets are one of the best ways to enjoy this earthy root—especially when you don’t want to turn on the oven. Serve them warm straight from the steamer for a easy side, or chill them for a refreshing summer secret. Cold steamed beets add a pop of color and flavor to salads, grain bowls, or make a simple snack—plain (a kid favorite!) or dressed up with a splash of balsamic vinegar and a sprinkle of feta cheese.
