Healthy Pickled Beets Recipe

  1. Cook the Beets

    • Boil, steam, or roast beets until fork-tender (about 30–45 minutes depending on size).

    • Let them cool, then peel and slice into 1/4-inch rounds or wedges.

  2. Prepare the Pickling Brine

    • In a small saucepan, combine vinegar, water, honey (or maple syrup), salt, peppercorns, and any optional spices.

    • Bring to a gentle simmer, then remove from heat.

  3. Assemble

    • Pack the sliced beets into a clean glass jar.

    • Pour the warm brine over the beets, ensuring they’re fully submerged.

  4. Refrigerate

    • Let cool to room temperature, seal the jar, and refrigerate.

    • Allow at least 2 hours (preferably overnight) for flavors to develop.

✅ Tips:

  • Lasts in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

  • Use gloves when peeling beets to avoid staining your hands.

  • Add thinly sliced red onions or fresh dill for extra flavor!
