Fried Beets image

My mom loved these and I have never heard of anyone preparing beets quite this way! Not exactly a health-food, but so tasty! Mother said, 'Cook them until they're burned.' She was right! You may also need to add a little more butter or margarine if they seem to need it.

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add beets and cook uncovered until slightly tender, about 20 minutes. Drain, rinse, and cut ends from each beet.
  • Place beets in a saucepan with about 2 inches of water. Cover saucepan and bring water to a boil; cook beets until tender, about 20 minutes. Remove beets from water and immediately immerse in a bowl of ice water to cool. Pull peels off the beets. Slice beets into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
  • Heat butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat; fry beets, flipping occasionally, until lightly blackened, about 20 minutes. Season beets with salt and pepper.

Overall, I thought this recipe was just okay. The beets were a bit too sweet for my taste.

I followed the recipe exactly and the beets turned out mushy. I think I'll try roasting them next time.

The coating on these beets was a bit bland. I think I'll try adding some herbs or spices next time.

These fried beets were a bit too oily for my taste. I think I'll try baking them next time.

Not a huge fan of beets, but this recipe changed my mind! The frying process really brings out the sweetness of the beets and the coating adds a nice crunch.

Beets were crispy and flavorful. I added a bit of garlic powder and paprika to the coating for extra flavor.
